Snow Holiday!

In Chattanooga, we usually get one good snowstorm a year. And when we do, we stop to marvel.

A bluebird sunning himself on our window ledge.

We had a flock of bluebirds.

These sparrows had already built in nest in our gutter. When they got snowed in, they excavated a tunnel.
They have been popping in and out as they go about their birdly business.

No snowstorm would be complete without hot tubbing in the snow.
Afterwards, we had bowls of snow cream.

Raindrops on Roses

Raindrops on roses are gorgeous. Whiskers on kittens are cute. I do like bright copper kettles…and snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes. But amongst my favorite of favorite things is hot tubbing in the snow.

Yesterday, snow flurries started and Cal turned on the hot tub heater. He knows there are few things I love as much as soaking in steamy water while watching snowflakes swirl in the brisk, freezing air.

So, Cal, the boys, and I soaked and watched the snow. Bliss.

Perfect beginning to the new year.
