WHAT IS THIS PRETTY WHITE STUFF CALLED
Patricia Feager shares the excitement of newly fallen snow in Flower Mound, Texas. We may have the same images in Maryland with more snow predicted this week. All should be sure to have their cameras in hand to capture the colors of the season.
The colors of winter in Maryland. Life is good!

What is this pretty white stuff? It started out raining this morning here in Flower Mound in the wee early morning. Now, there's a thin white blanket and it's piling up, strategically between the branches and shrubs.
Isn't it BE-AU-TI-FUL! Now it's beginning to feel like Christmas to me! Flakes are gently falling without the blowing air snapping like many who feel that type of sensation living in Northern climates. I am transformed into a kid again! I recall from my former life (Chicago kid) that as an insulator for plants there is nothing better than snow! Yippee - I am blessed! Look at my shrubs!
As a result of stepping outside to take these pictures, I could hear the laughter and joy coming out of the mouths of children in their back yards, for many it's the first time they ever saw real snow! My heart feels their joy and happiness!
I remember being a Girl Scout Leader, so many years ago and having fun with my troops creating snowflake pictures. If memory serves me correctly, we made prints of frosted windows on sunny days at our Girl Scout meeting place. I believe we used blueprint paper or was it carbon paper and shallow pans half filled with water and perhaps we added peroxide, but I'm not really sure??? The girls pressed the blueprint and/or carbon paper on the windows, one or two girls holding the blue paper; the other pressing the paper against the glass and together they sang a song while they waited for the print to take place. It was like taking a magic photograph of frosty flakes!
If someone knows how this process works, or could refresh my memory, I would appreciate it! I don't anticipate frosted glass windows here in Flower Mound, TX, nor do I even know if blueprint and/or carbon paper exists anymore, but in any case, I hope you are all having a great Sunday. These snowflakes falling gently from the sky has given me pleasure and fond memories of a life I once knew.
Happy Sunday to you all!
