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.

Snow? No!

Despite a weeklong prediction of snow by our local meteorologists and the National Weather Service – this turned out to be a non-event.
Yes, we had some pretty fat fluffy snowflakes, and even a little sleety-looking stuff. But our temperatures remained above freezing, and everything melted as it hit the roads.
So it’s work and school as usual tomorrow, and my secret longings for hours of uninterrupted crafting time will be unfulfilled.
It’s halftime for the BCS Championship game, and I want to go back and see the end. Roll Tide!
