shake that mornin' chill


My title is lyrics taken from Gillian Welch's Winters Come and Gone. Of course, winter has just begun here in South Carolina. Tonight has been the coldest so far here in the deep south...27 degrees. I am hoping for snow this year so my children can really experience the joys of playing in it. I figure since it has been raining for more than a year, then there is a pretty good chance the white stuff might make down this way. We really have not had a good snow in years~probably 5 years or so. I am a true kid at heart when it snows; I run from window to window in anticipation and when it starts to come down, it's all over for me. There is just something about it when it falls...purely a peaceful delight! The picture included is one I took last year from the little bit we got. It is a reminder of my dream for snow. So old man winter, please blow us some snow as we draw hearthside to create a home of love and warmth.

  1. Oh my, we have so much snow here in Northern Colorado, I wish that I could ship you some. We lived in Atlanta for two years, and I remember being so excited when we had our one and only day of a good snow fall. Hope you get to enjoy

  2. Is it summer yet? If not then I would love some snow, just for a little while!
