Our First Snow of the Season

Here’s what’s happening at my house…

 

Landscape in Snow

 

Snowflakes are drifting from heaven
That frost the landscape today;
Myriad scenes of real enchantment
Border long stretches of highway.

 

Cozy house are wood blocked in white
While woodsmoke ascends like prayer;
The rugged hills wear lacy shawls
As if in an etching rare.

Old red barns are now magical,
Tall, bare oaks stand in filigree;
Pines and hemlocks wearing fine lace
Are, oh, so beautiful to see.

Cold streams are shining ribbons
Beneath a pewter-gray sky,
And the countryside is inspiring
Now that Christmas snowflakes fly!

(Earle J. Grant)

 

Oh boy does my apple tree need pruning!

We’re all snug and warm inside by the fire enjoying the snow as the flakes pile higher!

Blessings…

Happy Birthday Steve!

 

Happy Birthday Steve! I’m guessing this might be 1962? This was at 305 Los Angeles Ave in Montebello.  Vera is sitting next to me but is cut off because I wanted the larger version so that we could see you better. I’m guessing Kathy or Fred is taking the photo. Looks like we’re having chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Tim’s already licking his fingers. I’m including a smaller version of this photo so we can admire Vera’s hairdo!

God bless you richly this new year! I love you little brother!
