365* 22-28, Snow Shrine, Snow Whine

Snowfall is magical to me! I can never get enough of it. Now, if I lived in Wisconsin, I'm sure I'd get my fill, but here in the south there is always a special excitement when snow is in the forecast and a feeling of disappointment if the snow does not materialize (or if our neighbors in surrounding counties get more than we do). At our house, we have a tabletop display that I have jokingly referred to as our "snow shrine" (which obviously does not work well).




And though I don't really collect snowmen (really, I don't), I practiced taking close-up photos this week on some of the snowmen around the house (including one that decorates the back of a toilet, one that holds mail, and one that contains this week's Mommytography "I Spy" object).











We were predicted to get up to 3 inches of snow this past Wednesday night. Instead, we got this "dusting" which looked more like a bad case of dandruff on our deck table.






Did we whine? You bet we did! Even if we had gotten the predicted 3", we would have complained to hear that Elizabethton got 4". Here is my son Noah watching for snow and giving his famous snow pout:

I'm sorry you didn't get your snow. We have some... well, more than some. Haven't seen the grass but about 7 days in two months.

Lovely snowman.

I feel the same way. Not matter how much snow we get, I always want more! I've always thought it would be fun to spend one winter in a place where is snows a lot!

Susan, I loved reading your post! I love snow, too, though I'm in waiting-for-spring mode right about now. I love your photo of the snowman with the red scarf; such nice focus!

Blessings,
Christine, who is hoping we'll get the 18" of snow they're promising in Chicagoland tonight!! :)

Hmm, I think you like snowmen. lol

I love the snow, I just wish it would come without all the cold winds, air attached to it.
