Snow is Pretty to Look At

Snow is Pretty to Look At!

Yes, when the snow falls and lands on the trees and their branches, it is a lovely setting. I have been enjoying many of these such occurrences while visiting Vermont. Except for 2 days, it has snowed everyday since I arrived. After 8 days, you might think I should be use to it, but NO. Although it is pretty to look at, it is still cold.

Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Top of the mornin to you! Hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Wear the green if your Irish or maybe make something green for breakfast. lunch, dinner or dessert. If green is not on your agenda, then think spring and a note from our hostess for this month:

Click your heels together three times and repeat after me: Spring is almost here, Spring is almost here, Spring is almost here. I know it is hard to believe if you were stuck at home this week in the latest blizzard, but the calendar says it is almost Spring. And that rodent in Pennsylvania said Spring was coming early this year. Well I can't promise when Spring will arrive to your neighborhood, but I can offer you some lovely some Spring features this week. Lots of gardening, decorating and crafting tips, plus a delicious strawberry jam recipe to tuck away for when the strawberry farms open in your area.


   


 Get some inspiration for Spring decorating from My Hubbard Home. She gives you plenty of ideas for incorporating simple touches to welcome Spring in your home.

Botanic Bleu explains the essence of French Country design and living, as well as how she made this lovely spring vignette.

Thursday Favorite Things

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things!

Hope your week has a been a good one so far. Mine has been great. I am enjoying being with the grand kids in Vermont and the snow has not been too bad, although it has snowed almost every day since I arrived. I have not seen this much snow in a very long time. It is pretty to look at. It is supposed to warm up by Friday. Of course that means melting snow and slush. Not sure what I like better. It's always nice to know that I will be going home to warm Florida temps. 

Many of my features come from you my commenters. Don't forget to leave your Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you could become one of my featured commenters next week.

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

I am so excited that you are here this week. I am in Vermont visiting with the grand babies, although they are not that little anymore. My grandson is now a little taller than me and he will be 14 in a couple of months. My grand daughter is still a head shorter and she is 11.  I thought I was going to have lots of time to work on my blog, but my son and daughter-in-law just had a new kitchen put in so things are everywhere. We spent most of the weekend trying to get the kitchen organized. That was hard since it is not mine. I was putting things where I thought they should go. She only changed one thing, so I must have done good. 

Today I have been working on the living room drapes and furniture. So much for relaxation. lol! I am enjoying it however. All the while, it is snowing outside and everything is white.

Welcome to the Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to our blog party! Most of you are well-versed in how blog hops work. If you are new to blog hops, though, this simple definition of a blog hop may help. A blog hop is an online event where bloggers share links to their best posts. Guests also come by and look through the list of posts, visiting the ones they like the most. They may find a really great recipe to save or a creative idea (DIY, craft project, home decor, etc) to try, get some money making tips and on and on. You do NOT have to be a blogger to enjoy a blog hop. If you like browsing through magazines, you will love visiting blog hops! Our party features posts that our visitors viewed most the previous week. Here are the ones you visited most LAST week! This time around we had a tie for the "most viewed" category:

You're The Star - Family Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Family Feature Week

It's another Monday morning. Hope you are all doing well and ready for a new week. I am sitting here looking out at tons of snow. This is unusual for me living in Florida, because this week I am visiting my grand kids in Vermont. The snow is pretty but it was blistery cold yesterday. My thin blood can't take all of this cold. Of well, it is nice for awhile. Hope you are staying warm and have a great week.
