First Measurable Snow



We have had our very first measurable snow of the season. The snow comes as a surprise to our area. The weather forecasters didn't predict the snowfall until last evening. Yesterday our temperatures was in the mid 40's. I found it hard to believe that it would snow overnight. The snow is pretty.




Let's go out and take a look at the garden. I love the footprints in the snow.





The lettuce is still under cover. I checked on it yesterday and it's looking good. I'm not worried about the wet snow covering the greens. I'm still praying for my Thanksgiving salad. I think I'll make it!!



I love the way the snow covers this tiny pine tree. I would love to walk around my property taking pictures of the snow laden branches. I'm on a work time crunch so I can't lolly around this morning.





Sam the snowman is in all of his glory. He has his hat and scarf on and is ready for the day! Enjoy yours!

I love the snowman posing by the tree. I never think to "plan" my photos that way and I see that other bloggers are a bit more clever than I in that regard. LOL. We've had similar snow. But I hope now that it remains dry till Christmas.

yea, snow! I'm still loving your winter garden!

Thank you for sharing your snow with those of us less fortunate. I do remember occasions where we've gotten snow for Thanksgiving; once when I was a teenager (and you know that was a LONG time ago), and the other time wasn't really snow, but rather an ice storm.

I always enjoy the little 'picture walks' you take us on, on your blog. I agree with Whitetone, the snowman pose was a clever shot, indeed! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Hello Cinnamon Girl! Thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting on my fabrics. :-) Please DO come back again! New friends are always welcome!

Hmmm...those footprints in the snow...they look awfully LARGE! Are they BEAR prints by any chance? We have bears here in northern PA but I hope they're hibernating by now because they destroy our bird feeders and eat all the seed! Not to mention it's a bit scary to venture outside when they're around!

Enjoy your snow! Ours is gone. Hoping for more.

Happy Sunday and welcome back anytime!

Diane ;-)
