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.
---Elizabeth T. Dillingham "A Faery Song"

SNOW LAUGHING MATTER

Well this is round #7 according to the weather-people.  This was only a couple of inches but it has made the roads treacherous to the point I called in work today (which I never do).  Regardless I am continuing to see signs of spring even in the snow which I'll show you in a bit.  I am waiting with "baited breath" for Sunday through next week...50s then 60s!  Now that's what we are used to here in my area in February.  That will be the green light for so many things to grow and bloom.  Here are today's discoveries:

NOW ISN'T THIS A CONTRADICTION?

LOOK!  A BUD ON MY DAFFODIL!

WINTER HONEYSUCKLE BLOOMING BRAVELY

I SEE COLOR ON MY LENTEN ROSE!




HEY!  WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS?
I'm looking forward to March 1.  It's like my oasis in the desert, my checkered flag so to speak, an ending and a beginning.

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!

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

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!
