SNOW IN OUR BACKYARD

This is how our backyard looked this morning.


I can't say I was ready for snow but it did look very pretty.


The kids got the day off from school.
Can't say I was ready for that either.


The branches above were so weighed down with snow
that they were hanging right outside our family room window.


It looks like we may be in for another long winter!

Stay warm,

    Love it, we are getting blasted right now. It's coming down at a rate of 1 inch per hour.

    Very pretty, Joanne. I ♥ winter, so I don't mind it one bit.

    I just feel badly for my nieces and nephew, who already had the day off from school due to a delayed Veterans' Day.......they were bummed.

    Unbelievably pretty! We don't get snow much down here but when we do it's usually a dusting. So I am taken aback by just how beautiful your back yard is with the snow!

    The snow is so pretty. We do not get snow here, but as Janet said when we do it is a dusting and gone by noon.

    It is so pretty. Winter is coming so early here. I can wait for the snow though.

    The pictures are very pretty, though I guess all the snow does not make your life easy!

    I am so jealous, no snow here for us, just up in high country. (we live about 18 miles west of Grand Junction, CO, not too far to UT border. This year has been quite mild. Today it was about 45 but we were out in shirt sleeves, dry here. Back of our house faces due West so it's really hot in summer. I love winter and snow, easier than mud on dogs paws. What area are you in JoAnne? That looks so pretty.
    When we moved from San Diego to MT I'd sit and watch the snow fall, loved it. We had big windows around whole perimeter of living room.Got pretty cold there, 25 below during day first winter but its so dry there also it's not as cold as KY or east coast I guess. We lived in KY for 5 yrs after MT. I'd go back to MT in a heart beat, loved it there so much. Where we are is ok but just not MT except our youngest daughter/family lives about 6 miles east of us.
    Enjoy that snow, so gorgeous. Happy season

    It's beautiful but yes, too early. I think we're in the same weather pattern as last year.

    We've received our first round of snow for the season too... looks like you have a lot more than us. Although it seems so early, I can't help but be excited. The first snow is always so fun.

    JoAnne,
    Your pictures look beautiful. You could have some beautiful Christmas cards out of those shots. I agree I think we are in for a long winter. The first snow is always the prettiest.

    When we southerners see all that snow we say "oh how beautiful- I wish I had that", but I'm guessing it may be a bit of a headache after the novelty wears off. But it really is oh so beautiful! What wonderful pictures!

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th
