Attention: a snow update from Mockingbird Hill Cottage:
I’d say we have a least 20 inches. Yikes. Today has been about shoveling. And shoveling. And shoveling.
I’m tired.

I am thrilled to say although we have snow, I did not have to shovel. Amen.

Into Vintage says
Good thing it’s so beautiful to make up for how much work it is! :-)
Connie says
Well, you finally got a “Big Snow”, huh, sweetpea! LOL We’re supposed to get more tomorrow, but they haven’t been too accurate lately so we’ll see. Of course, hubs is wanting snow because then he can use his new snow blower again. Men…… ;-)

Yikes is right, said the girl from California! And I noticed there are no footprints in the middle of snow. Nice touch (:

Hi Claudia Sweetie…
What a wonderful share today. Snow and snow and snow. Oh my I bet you are exhausted, it makes me cold just to be looking at it. Yikes.
I don’t miss shoveling sweet one. I love living in the desert and so enjoy the warmth of the sun. We are expecting more rain on Wed. and Thurs though and I dread the rain.
Looks like the snow took over your birdbath and chairs and just made itself right at home there at MBHC.
You took some really great shots sweetie.
Happy New Year. Take some time to snuggle together and stay warm. I hope you have a fireplace.
Many hugs and much love, Sherry

BRSMaryland says
Oh my! It is really pretty but I have to say, I’m happy the storm missed us ;-) Be careful shoveling.
Paula says
Oh Claudia now I don’t feel so bad! That’s too funny, our identical (well almost) photos of the snow!
I don’t know which is more tiring, the shoveling or the mental part, I’m so tired of snow! Stay warm:)
Queen of Dreamsz says
Oh my goodness! I knew you all were going get dumped on big time..it’s beautiful though…Your bird bath looks like a cake stand with the way the snow stacked up. :-)I hope you don’t have to leave to go anywhere??
I’ve put up another post of our snow storm. We wound up with 9 inches..a bit more than the “dusting” that the weather had predicted originally. :0)
Stay WARM!!
Hugs,
Stephanie ♥
Sharon Lovejoy says
Drink some real hot chocolate (stirred with a peppermint stick), and don’t worry about shoveling.
Instead of digging in outdoors, just dig in inside your wonderful and cozy cottage (which I LOVE).
All joys and holiday cheer to you and yours,

Holy Cow! That’s a lot of snow! We got quite a lot as well, but nothing like you.
I hope that you are tucked in warm in your lovely home!

{Bellamere Cottage} says
Whew! Yep…. WHEW! Brrrr….. We’re supposed to get a dusting tomorrow…. Usually a smidge and gone here in the NW though. No shoveling for this chickie….if I can fall and break my leg in a dry garage no telling what kind of damage I could do in the snow!
Stay warm and dry…
Huggies,

Dorthe says
Looks just like here, dear Claudia-
Beautifull, but too much,— “my” island is in chock,-and can`t get the snow anywhere- old people don`t get their medicine- and sick ones ,can`t get to hospital!!!!!
Hope it is not that bad in your area, and hope you have a warm day,after showeling.
Hugs, Dorthe
Crystal Rose Cottage says
Claudia….Oh my goodness…I can’t imagine 20 inches! Your house in the snow looks like something from Currier and Ives! You need a horse drawn sled out front! Be careful shoveling! ~ Hugs, Patti
Joanne says
We experienced the same. Yesterday we thought we would never STOP shoveling. But it sure is pretty…..from inside the house…holding a cup of hot chocolate! Blessings, Joanne
Snappy Di says
I am lucky and did not have to shovel the few inches we had. Snow is heavy and VERY hard work to remove from the walkways.

Mary says
I’m envious, you got 12 inches more than us!!!!!
Actually dear one, my heart goes out to you thinking about the shoveling and all the hard work that goes with a major snowfall. Just be careful, stay warm, and stop to rest often. Wish I could pop over with a nice hot chocolate. The cottage looks adorable in the snow – how lucky we are to little in our comfy little yellow houses……….sending good wishes and all the best for the New Year.
Hugs, Mary

Hi Claudia,
The picture of your outdoor chairs looks so funny..like they have overstuffed cushions! We’ve done alot of shoveling out here as well (I’m also from NY) but this weekend we’re supposed to have temps in the 40’s. It’ll feel like spring (almost)! Happy New Year!
