Southern Snow and a Biscornu or Two

Well, the Southern states are now getting their share of the snow that so many other parts of the country have experienced.  Here are some photos I took just a little while ago from my front porch:
The dogwood tree that dominates my tiny front yard :
Some sweet daffodils under the dogwood trying desperately to poke their heads out.

The azalea bushes
 
And a close-up of the azaleas - doesn't the snow look like cotton balls balanced on the tips of the branches?
Kinda feel like I need to get out the sack to pick dat cotton!  And it is still snowing - I do hope it stops before power lines start coming down.

The postman was so nice today - lookit the biscornu I received from Michelle for January for the Please Pass The Biscornu Blog Exchange.

Exquisite - no?  and the reverse:
 
 The design is Rhodes Butterfly Biscornu by the Sweetheart Tree.

Last , here are photos of the biscornu I sent to Gillie in the same exchange.

  
Lately, it seems all the biscornus I stitch are large - lol!


 The Design is a freebie - Moonlight Serenade by Papillon Creations that I stitched with 3 colors of DMC Variations.

Thanks for visiting today.

Love the snow pics. I can't believe we actually got more than a flurry but I hope it's gone tomorrow. :-)
The Biscornus looks great!

Looks like you got the pretty, manageable type of snow. Not like the dumping Mother Nature has given us. Enjoy it!

Lovely biscornus.

I'm a bit behind on reading my blogs but I have to say your snow photos are great.

I also love those biscornus. I haven't tried one yet but yours are so pretty.
