They had been forcasting this “Artic blast” and it was supposed to be very cold but yesterday evening at about 6.00pm it started to snow, but it was not settling and by the time we went to bed at 9.30pm it was like sleet. Well overnight it obviously got a lot colder and we woke up to quite alot of snow!!!! Here are some pictures.
The top of our back garden and the deck where the Boys Den used to be.
As you can see the snow is quite thick.
The snow on top of my pots with the pansies in them and the pumpkin!
The trees in the garden covered.
This is the tree in the middle of our garden with the bright red berries on.
These photographs are of the trees we can see from our front windows full of snow and quite stark.
The pictures below is the view directly across from our home out of our front windows.
Miss Floof went out first thing this morning and had a great time running around in the snow but DH managed to get her to come in as she had not had her breakfast. Later when I let her out she would not come in until I shouted biscuit!!! She then came in with snow in her beard and all of her paws!!! If it stays she is going to have a shock on Friday when she is in for her Spa day! I will be putting a jumper on her!!! This, of course, is quite normal. Whenever I book her in for an Airecut at this time of year it the becomes freezing!
Eldest had to go to the Doctors yesterday as he had had a cold for over ten days and was suffering with his chest and he had, in fact, got a chest infection so he is on tablets! I don’t think I know one person who has not had a cold or something so far this year! I am trying my hardest to avoid everyone who has had something as I do not want anything else especially in the run up to Christmas. last year I had shingles so I am determined this Christmas I am NOT going to be ill!
I have been very lucky this week to be a Lady who Lunches twice, yesterday and today. Yesterday with Sue who I have not seen since June this year so we had a lovely catch up and Jayne today for our monthly lunch. We tried an Italian at one of our local pubs and it is like a tappas where you have small dishes of things be it pasta or meat etc. It was lovely although by the end of it I was very full! The next time I see Jayne it will be for our Christmas meal in December and I am really looking forward to that.
Tomorrow I will be with Eldest at his work doing jobs but I am hoping to get back early so I can get some more jobs done at home. Thursday will be home jobs and then Friday I can get some other Christmas jobs done, I have quilting to finish and baking to do as well. Saturday DH and I are going to get some Christmas jobs done and then in the evening we are going with Eldest, Partner, The Girls and Little Man to see Santa which will be great. Sunday we will be finishing off the Christmas jobs. Next week I am going to pinch a couple of days to get some other jobs completed! It is winding up to Christmas!
What a winter wonderland you have!!! So beautiful!! Coco definitely had a blast – I guess pictures of her in her snow-covered beard and feet wasn’t a priority LOL!! Feels like Christmas when there is lots of snow on the ground!! Tara, of course, would be horrified and would try to do her business on the doormat to avoid touching the dreaded snow!
Your snow is gorgeous and I can only imagine how much fun you had playing in it, Coco! Lucky, lucky you!
We hope that eldest feels better soon.
