It snowed wet and sloppy snow for most of the day and night yesterday. Not much accumulation, but it was so pretty! Off to Panera Bread with Christmas music on the radio and in the spirit for a gingerbread bagel!
After breakfast and grocery shopping, it was time to start my work week 🙁
However, I just had to go out an snaps some pics!
Looks a lot different than August!
Ornament of the day:
In honor of the snow, here is this ornament! Back when we had our retail shop, I used to have a tree up at holiday time with ornaments that people could purchase off the tree. I loved these snowflakes, and funny things is, no one else did – so I had about 6 left over. They made their way onto my tree! The light is behind it, they don’t actually light up. (Note to self, take ornament pictures during daylight hours.)
Note on the beaded ornament – I used a book called “Beaded Ornaments for the holidays” for the pattern.
Hi Lori, I am just waiting for the snow to fall here tonight. Can you believe it-pretty early for a snowfall here in California. Thanks for the gorgeous pics. Maybe I can get some tomorrow before it melts. I actually got my tree up today–surprised myself. So, using your ‘note to self’ I will wait til tomorrow to try to take some pics.

Your snow pictures are so much better than mine! I had no clue we were going to get so much here. I was sooo not prepared to shovel my car out today (okay, I’m never prepared to do that 😛 )

The snow pictures are so pretty – love the red berries contrasting with the white of the snow!

The snow is absolutely stunning! I always love what things look like covered in pristine, untouched snow.
Great ornament too! I’m looking to seeing more goodies from your tree! I may have to jump on the beading bandwagon when it comes to ornaments. My hubby grew up with a tree covered in homemade ones so I feel as if my artificial tree with glass globes is depriving him.

Brrr…I prefer the August picture. Although the snow does look beautiful when it is all pristine.

What beautiful pictures of the snow! We’re getting snow tonight but not enough to keep me home from work I’m sure.

Great pictures of the snow. It does look like a winter wonderland!
And the August pic is a Better Homes & Garden shot, for sure!

Those berry pictures are gorgeous!
I’m always stumbling on wild berries in the park behind my house and wondering whether or not they’re poisonous… probably not a smart thing to test!
Wow.. that red berry picture is beautiful!! It would be a pretty Christmas card!!
We haven’t gotten snow, but I don’t mind admiring from afar!

I love the pictures of the snow. We seldom have this amount of snow. Usually it snows during night and by the end of the day it’s all gone. Especially love the ones with the perfect blue sky in the background.
Have a great Monday Lori, mine has just started.

So pretty!!!
I ate your bagel pic while I was looking at the beautiful winter wonderland pics & the August beauty too! 🙂 I keep forgetting to look for that bagel in our Panera! I MUST GET THERE!!!!
I grew up back east so the beauty of the winter comes back to me although I am not sure I would want to live in the cold now… but never say never!
It is rainy & chilly here in southern CA or chilly for us!

Oh gingerbread bagels! My favorite. Was that an orange scone in the background? That is my other favorite thing from Panera if so.
Good snow pics.

Yes – that orange scone is my hubby’s favorite!
Wow, beautiful pictures!
