~Snowy Last Night~

Last night I put on my hat (which I never wear) coat…buttoned way up to the top, and “pretend” Ugg boots and went out into the cold, snowy weather to take some pictures of the outside of our home. Let me tell you my hands were froze by the time I was done, I couldn't’t wait to get back inside, it was that cold here in Western PA! It was supposed to get down to 18*but I think it was a lot colder than that!

This is our light at the end of our driveway…With a big, red bow and white lights.

I love the white lights on our home since it is a dark brown brick it shows up really well and I like seeing the inside of the windows too:)

002pi

Our front porch…sorry it’s not clearer but it was just to cold to fool with the settings on the camera. The next pictures will define it better.

I went for a different look this year… bought the two evergreen trees at Rite Aide on sale, the wood angel at The Country Store and the wooden ice skates at Altimeter's, as you can see it was snowing:)

005Ai

I wish I hadn’t cut off some parts of her head.LOL She gave a festive air to the porch and this year that’s what I wanted!

004

And here are the skates… when I saw them but didn’t know what to do with them if I had bought them… well when I got home I figured I’d hang them on the front door wreath love it!

007

I hope everyone having a safe warm day there are snow flurries coming down and I haven’t been out of the house since Sunday!!!

Have a wonderful Christmas week and to the lady who asked about the borders around the pictures…I get that from live writer…fun but can be frustrating:)

  3. How festive! I love the skates on the wreath! It's about 16 degrees here today - yikes - but I guess that's winter in Michigan! Have a fun week, Dawn

  4. Your home looks great outside! The skate looks good on the wreath! Was -3 at our house when I took my sons friend home at 6:00 last night. Probably got 15 or 20 below last night. That's what happens when we don't get snow! Stay warm, and thanks for sharing your beautiful home! Jayne

  8. Rondell,
    Third times a charm, right? I keep trying to comment and it is so slow and keeps kicking me off...

    I haven't been around the blogs since before Christmas...I hope you had a great one and that you have a very Happy New Year, too!

    I was out in that cold, windy weather last night returning some "pretend" Ugg boots. I have been trying to convince myself that I like them and I have realized something, I do not! lol Today it's still very cold and windy...it's about 14° here in central PA with the windchill they say but I think it's worse...thank goodness for the sun! lol

    Have a great day! Stay warm!

  14. Hi Rondell!

    I do wish it would snow here....especially this Thursday evening....we are having friends over for New Year's....not like snow that would be hazardous...but yes, accumulating would be nice...

    Have a happy New Year!

    I love your angel, and oh, that wreath is awesome with the skates.

  17. Hi Rondell!

    I too went out in the cold yesterday to get some pictures of our home, only to end oup really taking most of the pictures of our 4 legged baby girl in the snow. The next round of snow coming in is tonight. So, maybe I might brave the cold one more time and take some pictures of the outside of my home all decorated for Christmas. I try to do this each year so that I can have the memories of how I have changed things from year to year.

    Hope you have finally gotten warm! It takes me so long to get warm after I get cold from being outside. Feels like my bones are froze some times.

    My favorite kind of light are the clear ones. That is what I use year round in my windows and on my grapevine tree. During the special holidays, I change them a little, but still keep the clear ones out too. Your outdoor decorations are really cute. I love the angel.

    Blessings and perfect prims,
    Stacey

  18. Beautiful home & pictures! Snow is on it's way here in the Ohio Valley. It has been cold & I don't blame you for not going out.

  19. Oh Rondell, your home is just beautiful. I love twinkle lights in the dark. It looks like your Christmas was filled with many special memories too. I love that you got your three boys football jerseys from their favorite team. My son is a big sports fan as well and loves all that kind of stuff.
    Hugs & blessings to you for 2010!
