This and That

 

 

It's a rather unpleasant day here weather-wise. 2 degrees above freezing with a cold icy rain falling on 3 inches of snow that fell overnight.  We put on our boots and carried umbrellas to go walking and stayed relatively dry until we were almost home and a car came close enough to the sidewalk to throw a wave of slush onto us.  We were glad to get home, change into dry clothes, and put on a pot of coffee. We had yummy cinnamon buns to restore our good humour. 

Nothing much happening here so I thought I'd post some pictures some of which I may already have posted.





Two Christmas teacups today. The first is a Royal Grafton; the second is Yuletide by Royal Albert

teacups # 52 and 53



I hope you're having a lovely weekend.  Thanks for taking the time to visit here.  GM


P.S.  My dear Husband says thanks for all the birthday wishes!!

  2. A wonderful fairytale about Christmastime in your inviting house!

    Lovely living scenes with the bears sitting around the table.

    I can imagine such uncomfort weather. I'm always interested in weather on every place around this globe, special in the Northern regions. .

  5. Such beautiful teacups today. I'm so glad to see all of the snowpeople. My favorite of all! I'm sorry you got splashed, I sure hope it was an accident and not purposeful. I'm impressed that you were out walking in that nastiness to begin with. I, unfortunately, look for any excuse not to walk. :-)
    Have a great Sunday my friend.
    Blessings and love,
    Betsy

  6. I am glad to know that your good humor was restored. But at least you can check off another day of walking. I love your snowman collection! And, everything looks so lush and green in the sunroom. You must enjoy that room so much.

  13. The weather yesterday morning was dreary as can be, and then here, the sun shone in a beautiful blue sky. I couldn't believe the sudden change. Stay cozy. The bears look like they are having a wonderful tea party.

  15. I greatly enjoy looking at your decorations, especially the bears and their tea parties! Gosh, how inconsiderate of that driver to push the slush onto your feet.Ugh. Glad you warmed up and had a treat afterwards!
