Snow! There is Snow!







It is pretty.... though it was alot prettier at 0700 before I started to shovel it.  And before the sleet started to beat it down from light and fluffy to soggy heavy mushy snow.  But, still and all, I do like snow.  Really I do. 

It does mean Quilt Club is cancelled though, and I don't like that.  I did finally finish Sunbonnet Sue and her adventures, so, am disappointed not to be sharing that with my fellow quilter peeps.  The only photo I have isn't very good, so I will wait til I get a better one to share it. 

Stay safe and warm out there everyone!  Hot tea and cookies, that's the ticket!
