Our World

A new year and a new look to my neighborhood!
IT SNOWED!!!
And while we do see snow now and then, it’s not the usual thing even in January!!
But I do love snow as long as it doesn’t hang around for TOO long!! I’m pretty sure this won’t last more than another day or so, but of course, I could be wrong – it is the weather and not always predictable!!
I couldn’t get out much further than my front porch, but I did want to share a little wintry look for Portland and My World for the day! So, I hope you will forgive the poor quality of the pics!!

I hope all of you have had a wonderful holiday season  and that you’re ready for a new year!!

Advice is like snow - the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper in sinks into the mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge


The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?

    That sure ain't Ocala you've pictured here. I told Lois the other day I would like to see some snow. For about an hour. It's cold here this morning - 43 degrees. Brrrr...

    Hope you're off to a great week!

    Hello Sylvia, compliments of the season to you! Oh wow, how I would love to walk barefoot in that snow! We're very hot and dry here. May you have health and happiness in 2016. Greetings Jo

    I love snow Sylvia. We got our first snowfall on the weekend. Really late for my part of Canada. Hope your New Year is filled with happiness Sylvia.

    It is magical isn't it. That first fall of snow wraps you in a blanket of silence.

    I'm glad you didn't venture far off your porch ....that stuff can be treacherous. And your pictures are great and much appreciated. Kids told me about the Eugene snow, but nobody sent a picture. ( I don't think they had this much, at least when we talked) .... I hope you stay warm and cozy and safe. Thanks for hosting.
