I’m enjoying the sun on the snow and how it sparkles.

The snow crown on the bird bath caught my eye. I like it even better with the sunshine on it.

Before our snowfall I got some shots of Quail. They love our Silver Spruce Bush.

When we step out on our deck at times upwards of twenty quail will fly out of that bush!

It wasn’t planned but when JJ arrived on Monday afternoon, his mom mentioned we were twins and needed to take a photo!

Today is Women’s Bible study morning and I made some Date Nut loaves to slice and share with the ladies. I’ll share the recipe and photos if they turned out good.

Before I close off this post I’m going to give you some unsolicited advice.

Do not buy furniture with a black finish if you do not like to dust! 

If you are under 60, celebrate the fact that you can still get up off the ground easily.

When I have to kneel down it is a major event for me to get up again.

Enjoy the rest of the week!

  1. I like your unsolicited advice. 🙂 Especially the one about getting up off the ground. I remember thinking in my 50’s that I don’t want to lose that ability, but….unfortunately our bodies have a mind of their own and continue to deteriorate. I will say that I am thankful for the health I have.

  2. I love that snow crown!! What a pretty way to look at snow. And ice. And cold. So cute to be twining with JJ…and a cute photo, too!! Kudos for jumping up from the floor so quickly!:)

  3. Growing old is not for the faint of heart.

    I love the blue bird bath with the contrasting snow. And those quails! I miss seeing them.

  4. I don’t get down on the floor anymore, it is a major event to get up, lol! Cute photo of you and JJ. How lucky you are to be where quail live. I love those birds and was enamored when I saw them on our trips further west. Your snow photos are exquisite and I especially loved the ice crown on the bird bath. Enjoy the rest of your week and have a great weekend.

  5. Ellen, thank you for sharing your lovely snow pictures. Love the way it’s resting on the bird bath…it truly does look like a crown.

    Loved your unsolicited advice! 🙂 At 76 I can certainly relate to some of it. 🙂

  6. Pretty snow scenes. Our’s is just about gone now. We’ve had snow covered ground all year!!! I read your advice about the black finish too late! I have some!! 🙂

  7. Those are lovely photos you shared. That’s a cute picture of the two of you. Your date nut loaf sounds good. That is great advice and the black furniture. Enjoy your weekend.

  8. Unsolicited maybe, but not unwarranted. Sage advice!
    Love the “crown” on your birdbath. I am glad that you got a photo of you and JJ twinning! So sweet!
