Quote

Soft moss a downy pillow makes, and green leaves spread a tent,
Where faerie fold may rest and sleep until their night is spent.
The bluebird sings a lullaby, the firefly gives a light,
The twinkling stars are candles bright, Sleep, Faeries all, Goodnight.

Garden Frosting

It's a rare day in southern middle Tennessee when you wake up to 8+ inches of the white stuff!  My school is closed so I get to enjoy a snow day---Yay!  I haven't had one of those since high school (and that was in the 80's.)  I love a pristeen/un-walked on snow so I hurried out to snap some pics before the landscape becomes defiled.  I also love the lone sound of my boots going crunch crunch in an otherwise hushed atmosphere.  By the way, thank you sister Donna for buying these boots for me 2 Christmases ago...they are awesome!

SNOW ON MY BIRDBATH LOOKS LIKE A WHITE BUNDT CAKE

I'VE HEARD OF FROST ON THE PUMPKIN BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

OUR BACK ENTRY


THE ABOMINABLE PIXIE..ALL SHE NEEDS IS A TINY WHISKEY BARREL UNDER HER CHIN! 

HECK SNOW EVEN MAKES "ME" LOOK A LITTLE BETTER!   

Hope you enjoyed the walking snow tour at the Frazier house.  I know our friends farther north wonder what all the fuss is about but it's a rarity to have this much snow this far south.  I think it's about time for some snowcream and a snuggie! See y'all!

    The snow has been really pretty here, too, but I'll be glad when Spring comes! :)
