Frozen playground....

There is something very magical

about walking on top

of a frozen lake.

For a brief moment...

we look back at the shore and laugh

at the boats.

They have no power over where we go today.

They are banished to the shore....

to dream of warmer days.

For a brief moment...

We play upon this forbidden field...

 of frozen water.

It really is a magical place...

Snowy day....

What will the day bring?
What shall we do?
It might be a good day to get out of the house..

and explore a bit...
when the kids get up.
The question is...
When will the kids get up?

Snow Monsters....

And what have we here...

amidst the tablescapes... 

...and fair maidens wearing fanciful hats....

It's a snow monster...

or two....

Let it snow...let it snow...let it snow!

Hooray!

School is out for Christmas vacation...

We've got sun, snow and sleds!

A perfect Michigan day....

A path for Miss Sophie....

When you are a little dog...

You need a little help...

getting through the deep snow!

Morning light....

And what do we have here...

in the morning light?

Come sit on my comfy cushioned chairs and have
a cup of coffee...

while we enjoy

the wondrous beauty

of the season's

first snow!

The Waiting Game...

The Cucumber Tree has shed her colors..

Energy returned to her center...

Bare arms rest in the sky...

Waiting for the change..

We know it is coming...

The anticipation so familiar....

We watch the sky.

The clouds give clues...

Temperatures dip closer and closer 

to the point of conversion..

When moisture magically turns into

 snowflakes!

However...

Snowflakes have yet to fall.

Every day we wait....

and watch..

It won't be long now, Miss Sophie...
