Here’s a little something to help cool us off during the heat of summer, as I sit here and reminisce about winter.
I woke up one morning to the crisp blue and sparkling white of a clear day after a surprise snowfall the night before. I live in central Pennsylvania, so the idea of snow in the winter is hardly foreign (though we had no real snowfall to speak of this past winter, which makes me sad for several reasons) but fresh snow is almost always breathtakingly beautiful. I was feeling particularly snug this morning; warm blankets, purring kitty, hot coffee, nice boyfriend to curl up with. I felt serene. Safe. Warm.
Presenting the view from inside:
It was beautiful out there. But I’m glad I stayed inside. Keep cool, everyone!

Thank your for the pingback. We also had very little snow last winter and your photos sure make me look forward to this winter 🙂

Not that I’m crazy about shoveling, but if I live in a place that theoretically has four seasons, I’d like to experience all of them. 🙂

Nice to be cosy inside when there’s snow on the ground. Lovely winter scenes, like a Christmas card. 😉

Thanks for the pingback! Very pretty pictures…I’m originally from Michigan and remember winters like that. Nice too look at but can’t say that I miss it too much 😉

LOL I moved to Texas for a few years and didn’t have winters, so I understand the sentiment. But now that I’m back east? I expect them. Thanks for having a look.

Thanks for the pingback! That doughnut place looked pretty awesome, though I’m not sure if I dig the shoes in the case… 😉

I love freshly fallen snow too – before it turns into a grey-brown slush.

Yeah, then it’s not nearly so tranquil and snug. LOL

Me too! I’m loathe to knock it off, even by accident. How does it pile up so high? Sure, I could dig into the science of why, but for the moment, I’d rather just look and enjoy. 🙂
