Some White And Some Color

I woke up Saturday morning and looked out my front window, and nature sent me a big surprise.  It was a good amount of snow.  It was the soft white kind, so I scurried outside to embrace it all.  I was talking with my neighbors, and he thinks this may be the last snow of the season, so I took some pictures, and enjoyed what was in front of me, as it was falling off the tree branches, falling off the roof, and falling from the sky.

My poor rose bushes.  Well, I do want to replace the small pink bush, and plant a BIG pink bush this Spring.  Pink roses are right up there with the red.

And now for some color.  I wanted to tell you about the coffee that Nel sent her brother in the mail.  It was a 3 month subscription, with coffee from areas all around the world.  The first coffee was Ethiopian, the second was Brazilian, and the third was Costa Rican.  They were sent every month for three months, and came with postcards to read about their country.  They were packaged in colorful bags with different designs.  It was a great gift.

 Jess and Francesca dressed up for Mardi Gras with their festive dresses and masks.

All the men in my family are good cooks.  With Brian baking his banana bread, my son cooking his jambalaya, and Renecke baking his homemade bread.  I can still taste it warm out of the oven with butter and honey.  Brian barbecued some meat and added it to his jambalaya rice.

I took Nel's advice and decorated for Easter a couple months early so I can enjoy it longer.  I'll show you next time, and while it's cold outside, it's warm and cozy inside with candles and coffee and lemon cake.

love you.
