When I was a kid, I always dream of White Christmas. I just love receiving music card with a picture of a house covered with Snow. During those days I feel jealous when I see children in Christmas movies or cartoons. They making snowballs or snow man and play skiing/sledding. I always wish I can experience it too. But living in a tropical country like Phillipines is not Mr. Snow Man favorite place to hang out with (he he) . Many years had passed I never have think of one day I will experience it finally and see it on my two eyes. The first time I see snow flakes falling from the sky it has this sense of happiness in my heart I've waited many years for this moment to come. All I can remember is , I'm standing in our living room window for hours and say nothing at all. Then finally my husband hand me a cup of hot cocoa and wrap me with blanket. Then he said, "hon maybe you want to cuddle with me in our fireplace, the winter season takes 4-6 months so you have plenty of time to enjoy it.
The next day, I voluntarily shovel our drive way as the snow won't stop since last night. So I did , but before my husband left to work , he said, "Hon, don't stay outside too long your body is not used to it, and oh by the way honey Don't taste the yellow snow" ( then he laugh) . I didn't get it at first now I know ha ha! never ever taste the yellow one HAHAHA!
Here are the photos that I took during winter time in Buffalo New York, this is our last winter in Buffalo. Do I miss it? Yeah probably for 2 days but for 4- 6 months not at all. Its too cold and too much shoveling. Happy Holidays everyone!

I remember,my first snow was full of excitement and happiness like a kid.After a month,geez I'm done since we have almost 6 months of cold in Michigan. I'm thankful we moved down in TN and i'm loving the weather.
ReplyDeleteI dream of white Christmas din. Kaya lang walang snow sa Pinas. Pati dito sa NC wala. Sana maranasan ko din ang white Christmas. Ingit much :)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to capture snowfall in a photo... great job!!
ReplyDeleteI was just like you the first time. But now, I really don't miss it much. Although snow is beautiful. It makes the darkest winter lighter:)Love to have snow on Christmastime though!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, lovely pictures.
The snow has melted her for the meantime, but I am sure it will be back. It still winter:)
i wanna experience white Christmas, pero hanggang pictures nalang ako, hehe.

ReplyDeleteI think dreaming of a white christmas is as far as I am willing to go.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted a white christmas too.It looks so pretty. But I do hear that the snow shovelling spoils things a bit! That first one is lovely with the orange and brown against the snow. Nice textures too. Thank you for taking part in Mandarin Orange Monday:)
ReplyDeletelike you, i also wanted to see snow and winter until i experienced a late winter/early spring weather in NYC. i thought i'd die from the cold!*lol* i couldn't get out of bed, had pimples all over my face and i felt really sad! i missed the sunshine!
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful homes--which one is yours?:p

ReplyDeleteWe have been known in Texas for big snows. When I was growing up, the one thing I remember most, my mother made us snow ice cream. The best ever. However, with so much stuff in the air, I would be afraid to do that now.
ReplyDeleteWonderful winter shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos - I'm feeling all warm and Christmassy now!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!

I grew up with snow and it is so very pretty at times, but I certainly don't miss it. I can be happy seeing other people's photos of snow!
ReplyDeleteGusto ko ma experience ang snow pero di ko kaya tumira sa malamig na lugar. Aircon nga lang sumusuko na ako e. hehe!Madali kasi ako ginawain.
ReplyDeleteI wanna experiece snow din, kaso I feel like hindi ko kaya ang lamig, sa payat ko kasing to, tagos hanggang buto agad ang lamig, hehe! Curious, what's with the yellow snow, di ko naka-relate, hihi
ReplyDelete@Joanne thanks girl, kapag yellow daw ang ice na nasa ground may ihi daw ng aso he he..
ReplyDeleteHi There, I am a southern gal who LOVES snow---and has never lived anywhere where they get alot of it. My hubby says that IF I had to live up north for awhile, I'd get tired of it!!!! Like you said--all of the shoveling, etc...
ReplyDeleteBUT--since I've never lived up north, I still LOVE snow... I get excited even when we get an inch or two here... I become a child playing in the snow!!!! ha
Great photos.
Hugs,
Betsy
