We have had a lot of snow recently... I guess winter is really upon us.  It always looks beautiful in December with lots of pretty sparkling lights from homes around the area.   I love having Christmas in the snow.    It gives me a chance to wear pretty scarves and hats and mittens... big woolly gloves when I take old Dozer for a walk ... warm boots and woolly socks ... 

There really is nothing like it.  And I'm still amazed at the wonderful things I see when the snow has fallen and its landed on fence posts, railings, trees etc ... in all different patterns.   I looked at our wooden fence the other day in the snow and it had swags of snow across it like fancy curtains in a dining room.  So pretty..
