All snowed in!

A view from my front porch

Schools are closed, the grocery store shelves are empty and we are snowed in!! Yeah, right! Yesterday everyone was all a buzz about the snow that we were suppose to get today. Here in Tennessee schools are closed in advance of such news and people flock to stock up on groceries. It was predicted that we were going to get 2-3 inches, as you can see we did not get that much. I just chuckle. I am treating this day like any other snow day we use to have in Massachusetts....but thankfully no need to shovel!

The kitties do not like the snow or the cold. They have turned into true Southerners.

I want to share with you a little gift that feel from the tree. I have a passion for birds nests and have a sweet little collection. When I picked this one up it just made me smile so much, it is constructed of the usual twigs but this one also has horse hair in it. There are two horses that live a few house away from me, a chestnut mare and a gray pony. Their mane and tail hairs are so evident. I love horses so this is even more special.

What warms your heart or brings a smile to your face, is it the simpler things in life?

Just a reminder I have a great winter giveaway going on.
