E is for Ellen’s Winter Wonderland…

p1070087We don’t get snow every year and this was an exciting surprise for us when we woke up early on Monday morning.

p1070077It won’t last long but the exhilaration causes an excessive amount of photos every couple of minutes on social media. I like how this old house looks in the snow.

p1070079Dear and ellen b. went for a walk in the snow. Dear is home because he is not employed and hasn’t been employed since June of last year. We are still not sure if this is unemployment or retirement.

p1070076Our pear tree that we just finished pruning last week.

p1070084Our privacy fence that encloses our deck from eavesdropping neighbors.

p1070069An enchanting view on our walk east of our home. There were ducks in that pond.

p1070074On our early morning walk we encountered neighborhood children enjoying this steep hill sledding.

Linking up with ABC Wednesday which was going to end but has been revived with a new leader.

We Interrupt the Program…

…to show you this!

When it snows in the Seattle area it takes precedence over everything. Everyone talks about it. The newscasters can’t get enough mileage out of it.

I’ve been watching the younger kids throwing snow at each other already and the older kids adults with cars try to spin wheelies in it.

I won’t be going anywhere today. Katie and I are pretty beat from our round trip to Vancouver B.C. yesterday, anyway. I’ll share all about that on another day because…it SNOWED, and in Seattle when it snows that’s all we talk about!

Just a few more snow shots to share and then I’m going to head to the kitchen to make Lovella’s Cranberry Coconut Loaf.

Vancouver & Snow 079Snow on Rosemary…the bush.

Vancouver & Snow 075I’m kicking myself because I didn’t fill the bird feeder before the snow.

For me the best place to be when it snows is inside looking out of my warm and cozy spot to see the wet cold snow.

Vancouver & Snow 081I’m almost done…

Hope you have a wonderful Friday everyone. You know where you can find me.

Vancouver & Snow 066I’m inside enjoying the outside views of our December snow!

How about you? Do you like to be out in the snow or do you become a recluse when it snows?
