First Snowfall!

Hey everyone! It's me, Ruthie.

Guess what? It finally snowed here! It's about time. We've all been waiting for it. We get more and more snow each day now. It's even snowing right now. How lovely! :)

Hopefully the ski hills will open soon. Maybe then, Abbey and Chloe can stop spazzing out because of 'skiing withdrawl.' ^_^

Anyways, guess what I did today? I found an old box of blue and silver tree ornaments, and decorated one of the small evergreens out in the backyard. I think it looks beautiful, and the tree is just my size. Now every time I look out my window, I get really excited, because it reminds me that Christmas isn't too far away!

Here are a few photos from my day.

So, what is your favorite thing about winter? Tell me in the comments.

Much Love,

Ruthie

Our favorite thing about winter is certainly the snow. It's great for fun and photography, and to come inside after a long day outside, it feels good to sit down on the couch with a warm mug of hot chocolate.

Beautiful pictures! Our town has only been snowed on once so far....and it all melted by the time the day was over! :( But we normally get our first snowfall that sticks on Thanksgiving, which isn't too far away! :D

Our favorite thing about winter is definitely being able to light a fire, make some hot chocolate, and grab a good book or a movie!

The pictures look fantastic! Here in Texas, we get no snow (except in certain parts of Texas) but we love the winter. :D

Gorgeous photos, Abbey and Chloe! Our favorite thing about winter is probably the Christmas carols. Sunny and I both love to listen to the holiday songs and tunes on the radio. It doesn't snow here in Florida but if it did I'd probably like that, too. :)

Our favorite thing is getting ready for Christmas. It absolutely excites us. Every year we vow to let the Christmas decorating wait until at LEAST December 1st, but every year we break the vow out of anticipation. I love to make Christmas cards and sing Christmas music. Christmas is just the best holiday. :)

@ Felicity Merriman/Julie Albright:

Hehe! ^_^ It is supposed to be like that. It's called "bokeh". And, it's a lit-up tree outside. :)

Gorgeous photos. Love the first and the last ones especially.

Never commented on here before, but I have enjoyed looking at your blog (especially your photos!) for a while now. I just started a blog, if you care to take a peek. ;)

One of the things I love about winter is rather odd. I enjoy seeing what kinds of coats other people wear. Whether they're stylish or frumpy, well-fitting or bulky... probably because I'm a fashion photographer. Hee hee! =D

I'm 57 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of  Dr Akhigbe   total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured different diseases. we contacted his email   [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com}   He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service. I wish anybody who starts smoking at a young age would realize what will eventually happen to their bodies if they continue that vile habit throughout their life.
Dr Akhighe also cured diseases like, HERPES, DIABETES, HIV/AIDS, COPD, CANCER,ASTHMA,STROKE,LUPUS,JOINT PAIN,CHRONIC DISEASES,PARKINSON DISEASES,TUBERCULOSIS,HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,BREAST INFECTION,WOMEN SEXUAL PROBLEM, GINGIVITIS, ERYSIPELAS,STAPHYLOCOCCUS,HEPATITIS A/B, QUICK EJACULATION, IMMUNOTHERAPY, GONORRHEA,SYPHILIS,WAST/BACK PAIN,PELVIC INFLAMMATORY, DICK ENLARGEMENT,HEART DISEASES,TERMINAL ILLNESS,SHIFT IN FOCUS,ATAXIA,COMMON COLD,CROHN'S DISEASES,ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER,GRAVES DISEASE,HEARING LOSS, INTERSTITIA CYSTITIS,LEUKEMIA,MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS,OBESITY,RABIES,SCOLIOSIS,INFLUENZA, POLIO,JACOB,ETC.
