Southern Snowstorm

I do love a real Southern snowstorm, like the one we had on Wednesday.  It was absolutely beautiful early in the morning.  We had about 10 inches of snow on the ground and it was still snowing, but it was also melting.  I can't remember when we only had one day off school for that much snow!

Our front yard looked like a winter wonderland for a few hours.  The snow was off the trees by noon...no loss of power.  Hooray!

The little crazy dog did not want to go out in this.  

Juncos, my grandmother called them snowbirds, were everywhere during the storm.  This is the only one that wanted his picture taken.  The rest of the flock and their blue jay friends headed to the trees while I was at our back door for the photo shoot.  

My grandmother always called the last snow the "Robin snow" or "onion snow".  We saw a robin two weeks ago.  I hope this was the robin snow.  Spring can come back now.

While it was snowing outside, I decided to work on this wall hanging.  It is 22 inches square.  I thought that quilting this Texas treasure snowflake was appropriate for the day.  (I finally unearthed my big machine so I could quilt something.)  Today, I am going to try to finish the binding....
