Wishful thinking? We had 7″ of snow fall on Tuesday. Luckily there wasn’t any ice on the ground for the fluffy white stuff to land on. With temperatures at -8 degrees F most the day, I chose to stay inside. Although, I did venture out in the morning to feed the birds and squirrels. It […]

We’ve had several days of snow and ice this past week, with people being homebound for much of that time, schools and many businesses closed. The forecast looks like the snow might be melted within the coming week, though. While the snow is very pretty to look at, I’ll be glad to get out and […]

Our weather forecast was quite accurate… 2-5″ of snow expected starting during the night. It’s still snowing right now, mid morning, and it looks to me like 3-4″ has already settled. Lovely to gaze at, probably not so nice if having to get to a job. Ahhh, the joys of being retired! ~SueBee

What started as a light snow this past Friday (November 24th), kept on going until our little town in Kansas had anywhere from 9 to 12 inches, depending on which report you read! It’s been beautiful and peaceful, but has been melting away day by day. I’m keeping my fingers crossed in hopes of having […]

It’s so exciting to wake up to snow falling! After living most of my life in Southern California where the only snow fell in surrounding mountains, it’s so fun to look into my Kansas backyard and see white, fluffy stuff. ~SueBee

I’ve been so entertained since living at my new house by the scurry (I had to look up that word!) of squirrels in my backyard trees. I’ve rewarded them their cuteness by buying sacks of special dried corn on the cob, and unshelled nuts. Watching them after the recent snow was especially fun. They’re really […]

Here’s wishing everyone much health and happiness in 2022! I woke up on New Year’s Day to snow, and felt like a little kid all over again. It was 8 degrees and icy under the snow so I didn’t venture out, but I thoroughly enjoyed staring out the windows the entire day. Having lived in […]

Today I have guest pictures from my friend of many decades, Aranka, who lives in Pahrump, Nevada. The first picture was taken out her breakfast room window, the other two as she and her husband, George, drove to Las Vegas. The pictures are beautiful, but also quite a stand-out when you factor in where they […]

Southern California was visited by a powerful storm Sunday and Monday. My town of Orange had hail, wind, snow, torrential rain, lightning, thunder, more hail…! I looked out my front window to see a raging river of ice going down the street. If I could share videos on here, you’d see what I mean. Truly […]

Southern California’s mountains are snow-covered and beautiful thanks to a Thanksgiving Day storm! Therefore, I drove to Oak Glen yesterday to get some pictures, oblivious to the thought that crowds might greet me. With the first snow of the season bringing lots of excitement, naturally every single resident of the area wants to experience it […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Big Bear last November when my family and I stayed at a cabin in the snow. It was fun for a day or two, but we all agreed we live in Southern California for a reason… the generally pleasant weather. 🙂 ~SueBee

(9 photos) Continuing from my previous post, this gallery includes more photos taken at Oak Glen when Kat and I made a spontaneous visit earlier this week. Oak Glen is my “go to” relaxation place for those times I need to get away for a few hours, breathe fresh mountain air, listen to the soothing sounds of […]

(10 photos) Kat and I both have days off work this week (yippee!) and took a spontaneous drive to Oak Glen yesterday. While we noticed plenty of snow on the high mountains the next range over from Oak Glen, we didn’t expect to see snow on the ground in Oak Glen. It was a wonderful […]

A very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! ~SueBee

Togetherness…. something our world seems to be lacking these days. Let’s hope the pendulum swings back to peace, joy, and love. ~SueBee

Today’s dual Foto Fix features as the snow storm rolled in, before and after shots, taken at Big Bear Lake this past Thanksgiving weekend. ~SueBee

This week’s Photo Challenge asks us for a photo portraying “it’s not this time of year without“… For my family this year, due to the loss of several loved ones these past twelve months, we chose to start a new tradition. We rented a cabin in the woods at Big Bear Lake, on the mountains […]

I’m featuring guest photos today. These snowy pictures were taken a few days ago by my oldest daughter, Angelika, with her iPhone. She reports she took the pictures from inside her car while stopped at a traffic signal, hence they’re a tiny bit blurry. The snow coverage is sparser than after the first night of our big storm […]

Until recently, I’ve seen snow twice in my life:  While living in Germany for a couple years when I was too young to remember anything, it apparently snowed on my birthday one year! When I was like 4, while dropping my brother off for a school trip in the mountains somewhere. Spending the vast majority […]
