Delights in White


After the snow storm yesterday we had touches of blue sky with a high temperature of 29 degrees today. Since we’ve been unable to leave home because of a snowy steep driveway, the family bundled up and played in the deep powder. The driveway was perfect for sledding and the snow made excellent snowballs.

We let the children open an early Christmas present because they each got a “Snow Slinger” (Eddie Bauer) It makes perfect snowballs, and then you can launch them into the air, (or at someone). What fun! We just had to get creative with them, too, and decorate the railings and the arbors, and pile them in the bird bath and planter until our fingers were burning cold.

Then I enjoyed taking photographs of God’s delightful white creations, and ours, too. I hope you also enjoy sharing it with us through these photos…

White Christmas @ Cottage Hill


Looks like we’re going to have a white Christmas here at Cottage Hill (our home)! It’s been snowing all day and is deeper than we’ve ever seen it in the 6 years we’ve lived in Washington. We can’t get down our steep driveway so we’re home bound, but as long as the power stays on, we’re warm and happy. Good thing I’m ready for Christmas!

It makes me feel like baking! Wishing you all warmth & happiness!
