The Garden Party

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

9 years ago

It's been snowing off and on, all day, and may do so thru the night. But we are lucky, the possible 5" or more thst we could have gotten hasn't occurred. On the minus side is the fact that the temp hasn't gone above 30 degrees, all daylong, and is dropping into the mid-20s, tonight. Still, we're much better off than folks farther north. The possible scenario for them sounds pretty scary!

My sister in FL says it's 80 degrees and sunny; how is it where you are?

Looking at the news about the monster storm back east, I think the people there will have a tough time. At least, they have had plenty of warning so they can do the best they can under the circumstances.
Our weather here in the valley has been glorious, 70+ during the day and about 40 at night. I would like some rain, but there is nothing I can do about that, so I enjoy the weather while it is here.

I'm not so sure the N'oreaster is going to hit as hard as they first thought. Which is fantastic. It looks like Boston will be hit hard, but NYC seems to be faring bettter than they hoped (people are out and about this morning. Taxis are running, people walking around, no more blizzard warning). I wish everyone a warm and safe rest of this winter!

plate glass flowers

Welcome to the forum canuckeh! I am one of those GJers who loves the plate flowers. There are a number of posts about them and several ways to make them. If you type in glass plate flowers in the search bar at the bottom of the page, you'll get lots of posts. You can either drill the plates or glue them together with GE Silicone II for glass. I do make mine indoors and haven't been bothered by odor from the silicone. Give the search a try and if you don't find what you're looking for, I'll try and post some more instructions--or at least the way I do them!

When it snows really deep and you go stand outside in the yard it is like the world has gotten taller or somehow closer to you, everything is puffed up. As long as it doesn't bring down the hoopey house roof, which I doubt it will. A nice thin layer of snow or ice makes a wonderful blanket and actually helps keep the inside of the structure warm. Back home on the flat lands it rarely snowed like this - there were always 20 mile an hour winds to blow it sideways. Cold is a lot easier to take when there is no wind. Now I just gotta finish up some work, transfer a bunch of files to my laptop and sneak outta here while no one is looking.

You did it, Margie! Instead of raining this afternoon (on roads that must be all of 20F). Thankfully, it snowed lightly thru the day. We will have a White Christmas, after all! From the home of dear old Bing - 1st his very famous Christmas song: And, here is what I'll be doing on Christmas Day (with Bing): No music linked to these 2 pictures but here is the Crosby family home (not far from me): I believe this is Bing's home on Hayden Lake in northern Idaho (also, not far from me): Merry Christmas!

Frou..what a lovely - lovely table. That milkglass centerpiece it's just so pretty. Your snowflake tablecloth is just perfect with your place settings (so striking)..and I love the added snowflake for each. I think the glassware and their color is just beautiful too. What a clever way to 'swirl' the snowball/pom-pom garland around the table...it's such a lovely touch. We got tons of snow here the other day and more is on it's way... Shall I fill up the bus? jane
