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.
Sorry you had to shovel all that snow. MHC is once again very picturesque. Thanks for the posting the photo. Cheryl
oh, its beautiful!!! and being snowed in gives you lots of cuddly time!!!!!
Good thing it’s so beautiful to make up for how much work it is! :-)
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…… ;-)

Oooooh, a blue post is up for YOU!

loving the view though!

Yes, lots of white snow. Keep warm!
Hugs, Liz
Yikes is right, said the girl from California! And I noticed there are no footprints in the middle of snow. Nice touch (:
It maybe a lot to shovel but the snow is really beautiful. Be careful of your back.
Love you,
Mere
20 inches! How wonderful! I miss the snow. A childs playtime!
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
Oh, that looks beautiful!!!
Mercedes
Wow, looks like fun!!! Somehow it seems so white and clean and crisp…….hopefully not too cold!!!!
Hugs,

Lots of snow creates lots of tiring work….but oh, the beauty it also creates! Your beautiful home looks so cozy surrounded by all that snow!
Stay warm.
GORGEOUS to look at!!!
Hi Claudia,
Your cottage looks so lovely nestled down in the beautiful white snow. So pretty. Just cuddle up and stay warm.
hugs
Sissie
Oh my! It is really pretty but I have to say, I’m happy the storm missed us ;-) Be careful shoveling.
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:)
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 ♥
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!
Hugs,
Terri
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,

Y8kes is a good description! Beautiful to look at, but lots of work! Stay cozy and safe.
WOW!!!! AND I THOUGHT WE GOT A LOT OF SNOW. A LOT OF SNOW PLOWING WENT ON AROUND HERE TOO. HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

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
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
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
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.
Di
Baby, it’s cold outside!!! Look at all that snow! Sure makes for a great picture! Look at your darling Cottage…Wishing you and Don a very Happy New Year! Be safe and stay warm!!!
Love,

Wishing you a night full of hot coffee, warm tea and yummy hot chocolate.
Happy New Year my Friend!
Leann
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
Oh my goodness Claudia~~wow White everywhere~~~~that is alot of snow!!
A winter wonderland Christmas & New Years for you!
Shoveling snow sounds fun for about 10 minutes..
then I am sure it is tiring~~~
Don’t work to hard:))
Kay Ellen
Your home is so beautiful, Claudia! All that shoveling IS really tiring! We are expecting more starting Thursday through New Years…
I love that photo of MHC covered with snow~ looks like a beautiful Christmas card. I don’t envy the shoveling, but that snow sure is beautiful! Please take care~ stay warm, and watch your back :)
Hugs,
Jill

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!
Rosie
Oh, look at all that snow! I’m jealous!
Happy New Year Claudia!
