Snow/Quilt Days

I bet there are some that are in a snow storm today.  We were in a small one 2 day ago.  It was a nice snow and not threatening.  I saw the most beautiful picture of snow out west the other day online.  A man had taken his snowshoes and placed them on his boots and headed out into the fresh white snow and began to do a LARGE quilt pattern (round) in the snow! He must have planned it out before he started.  He must love his wife tons!!  It reminded me of the days when we were kids in Ohio, waking up, and hearing NOTHING; it was so quiet when we got a large snow overnight.  And as soon as we had our warm breakfast and NO SCHOOL today....we would head outside to make our Fox and Geese layout of dens and etc.....and we would play all day....chasing and winning or loosing...taking our mittens to the back door where Mom would meet us and exchanged UNMATCHED sets that had been warmed up on the floor open registers....So! here is our home...the one my Gary Built....not Jack....so awesome! is my main man!  Heading down to see the Grandable Gals tomorrow for a couple days; hope to get to a Quilt shop there and back to quilting on Monday.  Have a safe weekend, when it starts and feel blessed.  Quilted Joy.....Karen
