One week ago, Tuesday morning....frost and a fog envelop a field; shrouding it in a fine veil.
It quickly is removed and what was underneath was worth stopping to take notice.
Because nature had dressed even the most ordinary weed as beautifully as a bride on her wedding day.
Such gifts nature offers us, all dressed in her finery and standing tall, posing perfectly, quietly.
So elegant, so stately.
How great is our God?
Each season He created offers its own unique and special gifts.
And....this week, He's given us a big break from winter with the gift of unseasonably WARM and SUNNY weather!
This follows a week of mostly sunny and warm-ish days, which in itself was heaven. And now another bonus week of sun and even warmer temps!!
WOO HOO!
I wish I could say that the frosty pictures here of a week ago would be the END of winter for us, but we all know that spring is just teasing us.
But, we can make it fun while it lasts, can't we?

I'm celebrating this weather by:
- Hanging all the sheets on the line today.
- Getting out the stepladder to wash some windows, I hope to get them all done.
- Marinating some venison to cook on the grill tonight (recipe coming tomorrow).
- Put the thermostat in the OFF position cracked a few windows open to let some fresh air in the house.

We have cold and some wind and snow...spring isn't even teasing us, wish she would! Pretty pictures, I love the frost! Come say hi :D
Three Cheers for spring Joni! We've had alot more rain than normal this year, but our temps never really dip below 40F at any time here on the California coast. Though I love the mild weather, I must admit that I miss the season changes too. xxxVicki
I am so thrilled for my Mi friends! They are all so excited about this warmer weather. (and yes, it is just a tease, but enjoy it!) It's hard for me to fuss about this gray 60ish day today when I know what March is usually like in MI. We also have 70's and sunshine for the weekend. More gray and rainy days until we get to Sat, but perfect for baking and having a cuppa tea!
Joni I am glad we are enjoying this spring tease together!
I was hoping to get my windows washed today too but other things got done instead! I still have my granddaughters finger prints on the doors {that I am enjoying}
Ohhhhh do send me your venison recipe! I shot 2 deer this past season and am always looking for good recipes! :-)
Enjoy the sunshine chickee I think we are supposed to get rain the next 4 days!
That means more MUD!
Hugz, Dolly

WOW! How warm was it over there! Around 50 here today - but drizzly and ugh.
Such lovely photos - I expect another snow storm before its all over..it always happens.

Shipped your package yesterday :)
Thought you might like what's going on over and PR tonight and tomorrow.
I'm in the high desert of So. California, and the high today didn't get to 40F. We had a wind chill that made it feel much colder. It was clear and beautiful though. We had rain over the weekend, and quite a bit of rain this winter. Your photos are beautiful.
Blessings,
Marcia
It was windy and cold all day and this evening it rained. To be only 45 all week, nearly freezing a few nights. It was so nice last week, almost 60 one day, in Oregon.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos.
Awhile back you posted about some packages you put together for friends of old timey items. I recently found out a childhood friend I still keep in contact with, lost both her parents last year. While I was at an antique store I purchased a purple and white crochet potholder and sent it to her with some forget me not seeds and a card. I remember her purple bedroom so well and I am hoping she gets a bit of joy out of that. Great idea--Thanks!
