Around here we get mostly ice storms....but every once in a while we get some "good" snow. Meaning snow that falls pretty and piles up kinda nice. That doesnt mean that I like snow. I dont much care for it....but when I can see it falling like that and Im inside nice and cozy...and know that I dont have to go outside...then its seems almost okay! Only problem with that is my little guy sees it and thinks that he needs to be out in it!!!! You see where Im going with this???? Your wreath is very pretty. I bet that was a fun time getting to make that. Arent snowflakes so pretty when you really get to see them? Around here we get mostly ice storms….but every once in a while we get some “good” snow.

So very cool. Junior learned how to make the paper snowflakes at pre-school last week. I just LOVE all those tiny billions of pieces of paper everywhere. :-) Those photos are GREAT! So very cool.

We seldom see such pretty flakes - we usually just get frozen rain pellets. I just love the wreath! The snowflakes are beautiful!

Thanks so much for sharing. Like you, I am not fond of winter precipitation. Your pictures make me wish it would snow here, just once. Soooo beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing.

Even though it is cold and snowing I feel you are lucky, we are getting the rain and sleet. Man we are so under water it is crazy. We can never dry up at all. and going out to the chickens tonite the water came up mid part of my shin. I agree with everyone else, I have never seen a snowflake look like that in real life. I think what we get here (if any) is totally just a frozen raindrop. and looks nothing like what yours does. Oh and that wreath is absolutely gorgeous..... Hope all is well with you and your chickens! How is Duke? Lisa Oh how beautiful those snowflakes are. Even though it is cold and snowing I feel you are lucky, we are getting the rain and sleet.

Ich habe es in der Nacht unter und es hilft mir zu schlafen. Es ist ein natürliches Produkt, und ich habe großen Erfolg damit hatte. Es ist nur so ein Gedanke. Ich würde gerne Bilder von Schnee in Mainz zu sehen! Ich wette, es ist schön. Der Schnee hier ist sehr schön, aber ich bin bereit, für ein baldiges Ende, jetzt! Das ist zu viel Schnee für diese Anfang Dezember. Ich hoffe, Sie können meine liebe Elinor schlafen. Meine Liebe zu Uli, Tante Linke, und Maurice. Und ich viel Liebe schicke ich Ihnen.

Es sind tolle Schneekristalle, ich habe solche noch nie gesehen in dieser Form. Wenn Mutti morgen wach ist werde ich es ihr zeigen. Hier schläft schon alles, ich bin noch wach und kann mal wieder nicht schlafen. Dein Kranz ist wundervoll, es war ein Könner der dieses gestaltet hat, ja es sind ja auch nur noch ein paar Tage und schon ist wieder Weihnachten. Uli muss ja arbeiten, kann man nichts machen, aber er ist wieder mittags um 14 Uhr wieder da. Silvester muss er auch arbeiten, da hat er Nachtschicht. so meine liebe Penny dir noch einen schönen Abend, bei uns ist es schon wieder 2:30 in der Nacht. Hab dich lieb deine Elinor.

I love that wreath too! Nancy and Debra bought everything we used in making it and guided me in the whole making of the whole thing. They really are quite talented. I think I'm going to leave it up year round. It's just so danged pretty! Julie - I've only ever seen those kind of flakes twice. Both times it was in the 20s while it was snowing. And even though it's been in the 20s and snowed around here before, the flakes don't usually come down like that. Normally we just have blobs of snow. But when it's cold, they crystallize and come down in such gorgeous shapes. I think it has to be very cold and very dry. Whatever it is, I am totally in awe of them. I stood outside forever just watching them land on my gloves and jacket. Finally I said "I've got to try and get pictures of these"! I was so happy some of the pictures came out ok. See you in a few days! Love you! Oz Girl – Well, I was disappointed I didn’t get a really good shot of any of those flakes, but I think you can get the idea by looking at them.
