My daughter's snowy yard (Southern Illinois)

No Ann, it's a pretty deep little lake and it never quite freezes over.

Lovely. Do they ever get to skate on that pond/lake/stream?..................

Wish I could see this in person!
And a very Happy New Year my friend. Hope 2013 will be the best ever for you and yours!

Gorgeous picture. Looks about like my house.

Thanks yellowgal, and a very Happy New Year to you too! Luke and I will be at home, also indulging in goodies, and watching at least the first half of the LSU bowl game. I've set it up to record in case I get too sleepy........nite nite......

Looks a lot like our property right now, we've accumulated 19 '' over 3 days!! Are you venturing out to celebrate tonight? We seniors are staying home and have a tradition of eating all the non-healthy treats we love, while watching Guy Lombardo on TV. (Kidding of course, he's long gone)!
HAPPY 2013 TO YOU & YOURS !!!

Hi Chickie! Be careful! The weather maps look dreadful up there. And again I say BE CAREFUL! I'll be praying for a smooth and uneventful trip!

Thanks Elina, glad you like it. Snow does make pretty pictures I think. And a very Happy New Year to you and yours!

Hi Mimi. Headed back home New Yr Day. I guess we got another 7" while gone. Ice and snow tomorrow.I missed a lot of photo ops.

Wow, that's a lot of snow. Beautiful photo, Mimi.
I wish you and your family a very happy New Year 2013 !!!!!
Greetings, Elina.

Thanks gentlemen! PG, of course, she's always glad to help!

Oh no, Robbie, snow picnics are the best!

I guess the picnic was postponed Mimi?!

Lovely snow picture I see pumpkin was there to shovel.

Thanks ladies. Betsy said they got more snow last night. She promised me more pictures so I could enjoy their winter beauty too!

Very beautiful Mimi, but I'm glad you don't have it.

It's more homely, even if our snow has melted!! Thanks so very much Mimi!!

Pretty, Mimi. It looks like it could be in my neighborhood right now!

Very nice pic, Mimi. We did have some snow in Dallas on Christmas day. First one I can ever remember. It was not deep, but very beautiful. Thanks.

Lots of snow in a very pretty yard.

Reminds me of my youth in New York. If only it would snow in Sugar Land, TX--my grandson would think it is magical. Thanks Arleen

It does make a beautiful picture, Thanks for sharing Mimi.

Winter has arrived! :)
