Snowy Days

Virginia is not really known for receiving a lot of snow.  So most of us that grew up here delight when the meteoroligist mentions the word.  Snow has come to us for the last few weeks.  Some of us dislike it and some of us love it.  I happen to be a member of the latter group.  How about you?


I love how the snow quiets the world around me.  The hush that comes when it's snowing feels peaceful. 


My garden doesn't look particularly great this time of year, but when it's snow covered it looks better.


The snow covers up a myriad of things including all the leaves that have not been raked yet!


Grayden and I decided to "fly" away to one of our favorite places again.  If you read my last post we went to Colonial Williamsburg after not having visited for a couple of years.  So we took a little trip south there for a few more days.  And guess what?  It snowed there twice while we were there!


Bundled up with our winter gear,  we still were able to take our daily walks.





My favorite Compton Oak looking lovely as usual with its snow skirt all around its base.





This American Sycamore tree looks lovely against the azure sky!  There is a great variety of trees that are easy to see their form in winter.



It's always a pleasure to visit Colonial Williamsburg.  Each season reveals more beauty.  Thank you for visiting with us on this snowy afternoon.  Stay warm and cozy wherever you are!

Autumn is Here!



Hopefully by the time you read this post our weather will reflect the Autumn weather that I yearn.  Today the air conditioner is off and the windows are open letting in the cooler air.  It's coming and I can feel it approaching!




As fall approaches we enjoy watching our youngest grand play soccer.  He truly loves the game.  He's grown from the little child that didn't know which direction to run down the field, to a young man that excels in his sport.




We've enjoyed a short visit from our daughter.  We were so thankful for her safe arrival even though it was full of anxiety.  The train that bought her home, was in NYC when the train was delayed because of the pressure cooker bombings nearby.  I pray for our world and the fear that surrounds our safety.


What would happen if all the populations on the planet simply refused to fight human beings they did not even know?

 We enjoyed a trip to Colonial Williamsburg and had lunch at the Old Chickahominy House.  Whenever our daughter visits we return to old favorites that we have been going to for years.




Even with the rain we enjoyed a lovely walk down the Duke of Gloucester Street.










Slowly but surely I'm bringing out the Autumn decor.  The farmer's market had the cutest little pumpkins that I couldn't resist.






In the meantime there are plenty of zinnias to fill little vases with sunshine.



Sending wishes for beautiful Autumn days ahead. ♥
