Well, I've seen all the seasons up here in the mountains, and Winter is definitely my favorite. We had our first snowfall last week, with about a foot of snow, and our second snowfall is supposed to come on Wednesday through Christmas. This is my first White Christmas, and even if it doesn't snow on that day, the days leading up to it are wonderful. Yes, Winter is my favorite season here, and this is why.
My blog friend, Carla, made these snowmen for me many years ago. They are so cute. She hand painted them, put twigs on for the arms, a cotton ball on the hat for snow, and glitter and snow on the base of the snowman. I smile when I look at them, cause I have all of these things now in the woods! These little guys stay out until January.

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like y'all have the North Pole at your doorstep. :)
You are in a winter wonderland!! I picture you living you high up in an ice palace. I love your little dog and candy cane hanging on your cabinet door, I am now going to do something similar! I never thought of decorating a kitchen cabinet!! What a sweet, sweet face serving us warm cookies! I have seen this blue cabinet and almost bought it! It was at Target I think, I just love it.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWow, Sheri your snow is gorgeous and oh so Christmasy! We don't often have snow at Christmas, although I would love it. I can feel the quietness that your photos express! Love the Santa hat in the snow--Maybe Santa will pick it up this year on his way to visit your darling granddaughters. Nel's chalk art is beautiful. Blessings to you as we remember the night that our Lord and Saviour was born!
ReplyDeleteOoh looks like you have a lot to go over and look at.
ReplyDeleteI love the totally white snow with the really pretty red decorations. What a stark contrast. Some ice and some snow - you really got a lot of snow.
Looks like a winter wonderland.
Love the grands - they are getting ready for Christmas.
The one photo with a brown box - not sure what it is.
Candy canes. I love the hat in the snow.
Your daughter is an artist.
Love your post.
So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty!!! Merry Christmas,my dearest friend Sheri.
ReplyDeleteYour very own WINTER WONDERLAND. So pretty
ReplyDeleteOh my that is a lot of snow! We had just a flurry this morning and it looked so pretty. It melted as soon as it hit the ground though so we have nothing to show for it. I wish for a white Christmas but I don't think we will have one. I love the Christmas verses about Mary.
ReplyDeleteSheri, I see you are enjoying snow. Bless your heart and all your pretty girls. I think of you and many others that I have not been in touch with for some time now. The holidays have had bits of charm and warmth, but so very different for me now with my Teddy gone. Blessings to all of you, xoxo love, Susie
ReplyDeleteOh these pictures are so pretty, you are going to have a white Christmas. You have quite a bit of snow. But for Christmas it is perfect. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteA snow covered landscape is definitely something magical and very beautiful. I always loved it when we had a white Christmas back home. Have a lovely Christmas, Sheri.
ReplyDeleteOh it is beautiful and it feels like Christmas just seeing your beautiful photos. No snow here yet, but maybe this week! Enjoy your beautiful scenery Sheri!
ReplyDeleteGood morning beloved one! YES, Jesus IS the light of the world!
ReplyDeleteThe look of joy on your little baker's face!
ReplyDeleteYou literally could be walkingin a winter wonderland. It is beautiful. Merry Christmas.
How beautiful! I know you will enjoy it and fill your home with pretty candles and lights! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheri, I just love how you have those little snowmen smiling for all of us to see.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Merry Christmas.. lots of love and prayers to you and your family.
WOW.....I am loving that snow. You really got a lot. They did a ten yr outlook here in Nashville and said we would have little to none for the next ten yrs. Crazy, we used to have snows like you have had. Beautiful...just beautiful. I love the Santa hat and the Snowfolks out in the snow. If I don't get with you again before Christmas, Merry, Merry, Merriest Christmas to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible painting of Mary and Baby Jesus. So beautiful. I can't even believe the beauty of your mountain home. The snow is amazing. I lived in snowy Santa Fe for a few years and it reminds me that area but more beautiful due to the trees. Thank you for sharing all the photos of home and outdoors! I love those little snowmen your friend Carla made you! So cute.
ReplyDeleteI can hear the song, 'White Christmas' playing in my head, Sheri, as this is the stuff that dreams are made of! Such beautiful scenes and I can feel the stillness and the peace. Love the little snowmen and the Santa hat on the snow. I scrolled down to catch up - how special that you were able to visit your sweet family and it looks like you had a wonderful time. Seven hours is a long journey, though. Love your beautiful Madonna painting. Wishing you a peaceful and blessed Christmas, dear friend. Sending love and hugs xo K
ReplyDeleteLove your winter wonderland, Sheri.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so magical!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Winter in the snow, is just magical, I love our Christmas snow. It gives new meaning to "a hush falls over the earth" it is so quiet when it snows.
ReplyDeleteThere is something just so magical in fresh fallen snow. Your snow is gorgeous and I love the touches of red.
ReplyDeleteOh Sheri, your winter photos look like something out of CHronicles of Narnia or The Snow Queen! Even though I'm not snow's biggest fan, I confess, if I saw it like that, I might change my mind. It's magical. I love your red and each and every photo. That red hat on the snow is a gem!
ReplyDeleteOh Sheri, how beautiful it all is, a real Winter Wonderland. It must be so exciting to live amongst it. The little snowmen are darling, out there in their environment. Wishing you all the joys and blessings of Christmas, and a safe and happy New Year. x
ReplyDeletelooks like a winter wonderland! may i know which city is this? so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I have never seen snow like that in person. It is going to be record heat in the South for Christmas, which is kind of a bummer. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteMerriest Christmas to you.
ReplyDeleteQue pases una ¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!
ReplyDeleteSaludos desde Salamanca.
Amazing winter wonderland. We will have a week of 80 degrees starting tomorrow. Thanks for following my blogs through all these years. May you have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss having a white Christmas, and your shots make me feel nostalgia for Christmas’s past (even more than that I miss autumn), It’s been a while since I’ve dropped by but wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas Sheri, and a most joyous and happy new year!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I’m not blogging so don’t worry about visiting ;).
Merry Christmas ��
ReplyDeleteOh, what beauty! I can see you are having a Merry Christmas! There is just something about snow on Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI wish you good health and happiness.
So many beautiful photos Sheri! Since it doesn't snow here much, I love to look at snow photos. It looks like your having a wonderful holiday season!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a lot of snow. I love the touches of red too.
