More Snow!

We had another winter storm yesterday, it snowed ALL day well past 9.30pm. I think we have at least 8" of snow, and it's due to snow again tomorrow. Looks like Spring is a way off for us, and there's my neighbor in TX mulching her garden beds already and planting flowers! You may be getting bored with all the snow pictures, but here's a couple I took this morning....



It's funny because on the other side of the house there's hardly any snow on the deck. The wind was blowing and it all accumulated on this side.

Not much else going on around here. I have been knitting as I alway do ;-) And I finished a sweater for myself (I recently finished a cardigan for Jason, but haven't taken any photos yet!). It's been a while since I took any modeled shots of my knits, so I got Jason to take some yesterday.... during the blizzard!



It's kinda hard to see my new hair cut and color, but it was the sweater I was showing off ;-)


 I'll try to take some pictures of the rooms in the house this week Nenna. I am hoping to paint the basement soon so I'll take some before pictures for sure.

What a conrast!

So the last time I posted I showed beautiful pictures of the sun shining on the trees outside making them look golden. Today as I look out the front I see this . . . .

Yes, we got more snow last night, about 4 inches or more I think. AND we are forecast to get more on Saturday and Sunday! Jason is leaving on Sunday to go to Maryland for a few days work. I'm hoping he gets a chance to snowblow the snow off the driveway before he leaves and hopefully it won't snow much after that, or I won't be able to go anywhere. My van has no snow tires and I can't get up the driveway with all the snow.





On a different note, I'm trying to eat healthy again, following WW. Here is breakfast from yesterday... scrambled egg on English Muffin with smoked salmon, YUM :)

Beautiful!

I was sitting at my computer desk yesterday, which looks out on the front driveway. Jason had gone up to get the mail (when I say gone up, I mean he walks up the driveway to the mailbox on the side of the road). As I looked out the window I saw this....
 
 The sky was very grey (but we didn't get rain!) and the evening sun was shining on the yellow grass and trees! It looked amazing, so I had to grab my camera/phone. You can see Jason up at the mail box in the pic below.




I love the views we have here. I never tire of looking out of the window :-)  Can't wait til you're here Nenna!

Room by Room

Our dining room is very small! As you can see it's really just a niche big enough for the table!!! But it serves a purpose, and has pretty views :) The table has been cluttered for a few weeks. It's one of those spots where you just dump things (a hot spot as Flylady calls them). So I finally cleared it off last week and polished up the table. I have removed the small table that was in there against the wall (it's now behind the sofa in the living room) and placed the other two chairs at the table, making a total of 6 (actually in these pics there's only 5 because I hadn't carried the other one up from the basement).


 



Just before Christmas we got a new kitchen table and chairs. I don't think I've taken pictures of them yet, so here they are. I love the animal print on the chairs. The table is a glass top. 

 I need some accessories for the buffet. And I want some shelves on the wall there too.


Next up - the bedroom!! I will try to take pics of our master bedroom ;-) Need some pictures on the walls in there too. It will motivate me to get them hung if I know I will be taking photos.
