There is not a leaf left on any of the three bushes. Though they have never bloomed, the plants provided a welcome splash of green at the edge of the woods.
Friday's snow was the type that clings to every surface. The white backdrop was perfect for the lights on the railing~
We've never had outside holiday lights before. I didn't expect to enjoy the evening's nightlight as much as I do. The string of color may stay until spring~

if you like the lights, leave them up all year. it's more spring here than winter though we will still get some cold spells.
Just a lot of rain here in the UK Sharon. We are having your snow storms warmed up causing a lot of flooding.
YAY - a snow day! Lovely to look at your photos. Three out of three years we have been in the east during the month of February there have been major snow storms (yes, plural). I fully expect to depart this week from Phoenix under clear blue skies and be deposited in a winter wonderland; or at least to news of snow on the way.
I, too, vote for leaving your outdoor lights blazing all year. We have a string on our porch and our neighbor also has a string. The subtle glow is a pleasant welcome home when arriving after dark or sipping coffee on the patio in early morning.
These are lovely pictures. And I understand you'll be a bit chilly for the next few days (I follow Bangor Maine PD on Facebook). Do you have a roaring fire in the fireplace? Are you reading, writing, quilting, or thinking?
I like that you are using photos as part of your blog. It gives your writing another added layer.

We had our first snow day yesterday. It is even more delicious for teachers :)
