For those of you who think my snowdrops will shortly be rocketing from the earth and bursting into bloom: fear not. The snow came back. More predicted tomorrow.
Happy New Year.

Gorgeous photo! It looks muh like a painting! Happy New Year to you Kathy!
Thank you for that photo!!! And Happy New Year and keep up the good work, too. Susan
Happy New Year! The colors in that photo are wonderfully subtle. Not that I need to look at any snow pictures – we’ve got over a foot of the stuff now.
Beautiful, serene picture! Happy New Year!
That is a fantastic picture! It would look great as a January picture in a calendar. It would be nice to have at least one snowfall that beautiful down here in Tennessee this winter! Happy New Year to you also!
Happy 2008 to you and yours! It is even cold enough this morning to snow here in the deep southwest, but it will be back in the 50′s this afternoon. It will not be long till I’ll be out trimming back my salvia and sages. Keep warm and busy while you plan for warmer days. Spring will come!
What a beautiful picture! All of the pictures are beautiful. Of course all that snow looks so lovely from down here, much further south, where we hope to warm up today!
I love the picket fence idea, too!

That’s a beautiful picture!
I took/blogged about a similar picture but just shortly after sunset on the 31st. I don’t have the get-up-and-go to see the sunrise
Hi Kathy,
Happy New Year to you too! I’m looking forward to reading more online (and in print) from you in 2008. I’m also looking forward to your Purdyville updates. Fascinating!

Happy New Year to you as well. I had no fear of ‘skyrocketing snowdrops’ in your garden. I remember your snowy posts from last winter AND spring!
