White Outside, Purple Inside

We've had a lot of snow last week, and over the weekend.  The neighborhood, the highway, and the town is filled with white, and at one point, the snow flakes kept falling for two days.

I've learned many things since I moved to the mountains two years ago.  Stocking up on food and essentials before a snow storm is one of them.  I learned that quickly when I had to borrow coffee filters from my neighbor.  Another thing I learned.....my neighbor, Lisa, kept telling me to back up my car when coming into my side driveway.  I always wondered why she said to do this.  Now, I know.

I've been gathering twigs and small branches from my yard and putting them in a pile to haul away.  The squirrels seem to break them when mischievously climbing the tall pines.

I hope my neighbor's bush makes it through the Winter's snow and cold.

I know many are tired of Winter, but I never tire looking out my window and seeing all the white.

They cut down a tree in my front yard, as it was old.  It was interesting to watch how they do this, with ropes, and a section at a time, until there is just a stump left.  They were cut into 4 foot logs, and my neighbor offered to take them.

While it has been white outside, it is Purple inside with a few Easter decorations I put up last week.

I bought some purple ornaments from the home shop in town, and I must get a few more, as they are so pretty.  I've had the white rose dish for a long time.

And speaking of Purple.....I wanted to show you the fabulous cake Nel made for her sister-in-law's 40th.

We can get snow up until April, and even though it's still Winter, I washed all my Spring cups, and ready to go.

That's about it for this week.  I'll leave you with a picture of Cleo, and what she's up to lately.
