Snow....

 

Days....

It Snowed the other Night in my RL world, Dear Readers, piling up almost nine inches of fresh snow on top of five inches we had earlier in the week, which reminded me that you have not seen the Snowy Lilac bush in quite a while! And if I was going to take so much time and trouble to make the lilac all covered in snow.... I'd better be sure to trot it out at least once every year! So here you can see it just as the dawn is arriving....(this corner is a bit dark...) and it is still a gloomy day.

The snow has drifted quite deep in the corner by the Glass House

And no one has  been out yet to put tracks in the pristine snow.

Well, I know you probably don't remember

all the steps it took to complete even one lilac bush....

And my reason for having one bush for each season...

was Just so I could come here 

and Play in the snow in the Winter!

So I really hope you don't mind me indulging in a

Snow Day!

(Even though I am supposed to be 

at my desk working at home....

 I can take my lunchtime to play!)

Oh look!

 It seems I'm not the only one who wanted to play!

 

 

Mr. Greene has decided to try some "sledding..."

Mrs. Red is not so sure this is a good idea!

 

 And look who else is here!

It's "Cloude-with-an-e"!

And he is chatting with Ms. Blue....

I don't think they know about the sledding....!

 

Mr Greene is ready.....

 

Wheeeeee......!!!!

 

"Oooops....."

 

At least the snow is soft!

 

But getting the sled back up the hill.....

That might take some doing!

 

Maybe "Cloude-with-an-e" could help carry it!

 

Well, Dear Readers, I hope you

 enjoyed Playing in the Snow with me!

Even if it was just a short break from Work...

These days, even Snow Days aren't the same!

I Hope you all are staying safe... 

and maybe playing just a little with your Minis!

 

(And if you missed my Christmas Card...

 I posted a picture at the bottom of the Jan. 18th blog post.)
 

Snow Day!

Time Out For Play.....

It's been Snowing a Lot in my Neck o' the Woods, Dear Readers, and it doesn't look as though it is going to stop any time soon! In fact, today was Groundhog Day, the Day on which a Groundhog comes out of his burrow and forecasts the remaining length of Winter. "Punxatawney Phil" claims there will be six More weeks of the cold stuff....and Frankly, I believe him! Because it was snowing hard this morning, with enough snow on the roads that I stayed home from work, and it snowed all day. We got about 12 inches of the stuff, on top of the four we got last Thursday, on top of the six we got last Tuesday.... and you get the picture! And it has been so cold that none of it is melting either.

So there was Nothing to do but Play at home today!

All that snow has really been piling up! 

The Conservatory is half buried in the white stuff...

And the Folly too!

Oh look! It seems as though the Groundhogs 

are not the only ones up and about today!

Anna Maria and Samuel Whiskers have come out to see the snow...

Anna Maria thinks it would be fun to build a Snow Rat....

Samuel Whiskers gets started right away!

Anna Maria wishes she had a better bonnet for hers.

It seems as though Samuel Whiskers has finished another one too!

I wonder what he's thinking....?

But it was so cold outside, Dear Readers, that it wasn't long before 

Anna Maria and Samuel Whiskers went back inside 

to the warm kitchen of the Tree house.

And speaking of inside....

Maybe we should have a look inside the Conservatory...

To check on the seeds we planted....

Not so long ago!

It seems nobody has shoveled the path.....

But please do come in!

Oh look! Something has sprouted!

Goodness.... that was fast!

Just look how Vigorous they are!

They will need re-potting in no time!

But for now we will keep their cover on.....

It is a bit chilly in here.....

And it is forecast to get Very cold tonight!

Such a good thing we checked!

Well.... look who is here....?

Where do you think you are going...?

Surely, Not inside! That would be the death of you!

"Did you see where Red went... ?" asks Mistress Blue.

"No idea..." replies Master Green.

Even Will decided to come out to see how much snow had fallen...

He wasn't prepared for quite so much snow!

And he wasn't really looking forward to all that shoveling....

Well, Dear Readers, I hope you have enjoyed 

coming here and playing in the Snow Today!

I was going to show you more, 

but it seems that Blogger is tired...

And it didn't even have to Shovel any Snow!
