Snow Blizzard 2018

                           Kiddos, are we ready to go outside and play in the snow?

                                                No,? Well, me neither.

I'll just watch that white, peaceful world out my window and thank God for such beauty.

I have a lot to share with you this morning but since I am linking to the Friday Five meme, I guess I had better keep it in rein. Right? Here are five of my favorite pictures of our 2018 snow blizzard.

#1. I made me a bowl of snow cream and I ate the whole thing! Man, was my mouth cold! Have you ever had snow cream? Just mix snow (good clean stuff), sugar, vanilla and milk. Try it sometime.

#2. Looking out my dining room window are the parking lot. It will be awhile before I get out in that mess. But, it sure is pretty to look at. 

#3. The flower pots on my balcony are all decorated for winter now. Poor ole geraniums. Guess they are gone!

#4. It is so cold here. I know... I am going to get flack from those people up north where it really gets cold but for here... it's cold. At 9 this morning it was 15 degrees. going down to 6 degrees tonight with wind chill factor below zero. Those water pipes in my apartment have been dripping for several nights now. 

#5. I've saved the best for last. I am so proud of this picture and so you will probably see it again when I link with the bird memes later on. My heron flew in for a bit of fishing! 
Believe me, I was not out in that snow when I took this... it is from my balcony!

  13. I make snow ice cream every single time we get snow - which is not that often! I use fresh snow, a can of sweetened condensed milk and vanilla! I freeze whatever we don’t eat. Back in the day, all the neighborhood kids knew to co,e up here because I would make ice cream for them!
    It’s been COLD in Texas! Not like in the north but cold to us! My Summer Dee is in New York City and was scheduled to come home today. After the snow storm, it will now be asunday before they can fly out

  16. Oh what an awesome fun post! So happy you are enjoying the snow! Your heron photo is AMAZING! And I love the Eyeore quote! :-) Because Cane is here, I haven't been on my computer much...plus, though I could have posted my painting yesterday, it was so late in the day, I just decided to wait till next Fri. Yvonne couldn't come out because their older dog is sick and can't be left alone. We still don't have snow! Well, a dusting in Redmond when we were there, and the kids got a little more. But, nothing here at the house!
