Welcome to Snowy Pennsylvania!
Where the sunlight feels fantastic while having my coffee in the sunroom at the Lake House. Yes, we are in Pennsylvania! Why, you ask? Why would we leave warm Arizona for the cold North? So that we could see our wonderful family and friends, of course. We have had lots of fun with them.
When we flew into Buffalo we saw this very large pile of snow at the airport. Notice the sign in the lower right. That shows how big this pile is.
It was -7° when we arrived at our Pennsylvania home. We have over a foot of snow. When we saw all the footsteps in our yard and the neighbor’s yard, we had to laugh. You would think we have dogs, but we don’t. What you see is the nighttime party crew of deer, rabbits, raccoons, and whatever else comes out of the forest at night, leaving their tracks!
We also have enjoyed seeing the art on our windows.
The snow is pretty but it sure is brutally cold.
But not cold enough for the Pileated Woodpecker to come out and look for food in our back yard!
Here he/she is this past summer looking for food at our feeder.
What To Do When Snowed In?
First off, be thankful for heat and electricity. We are enjoying our brand-new furnace, which we replaced this past summer. I don’t know how our friends in the south are living without electricity. Last I heard, many are still without power after last week’s ice storm. Our prayers are with them!
We are thankful for our fireplace that my Dad constructed 70+ years ago. Sweet Man replaced the liner inside a few years back to make it safe to burn fires.
We light candles, get out the quilts and enjoy homemade specialty coffees at home. I got a pretty frother that matches the copper in our kitchen. 🤣😂 I love it!
I’ve been cleaning, and it truly feels wonderful to give everything a refreshed look. I also decided to update the kitchen decor with cheerful spring colors. It’s such a joy to brighten up the indoors, especially when the outside is all dull and gray.
When the Weather Allows
When the weather broke I got out with friends to play fundraiser Bingo! I won an InstantPot! We had so much fun!
When I got home from Bingo I enjoyed watching the full Snow moon.
Thank You!
Thank you, friends, for coming along to the very cold state of Pennsylvania. Good company makes even the coldest places feel warm.
I hope to catch up with all of you very soon. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind.
We wish you all a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned, make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.
Stay safe, stay warm and pray for peace.
