Winter Weekend Wonderland

My weekend began with hubby's quartet serenading me at work

(see Friday's post for more).

The day seemed normal enough until later that night when it began to snow!

This a major occurrance here on the coast.

It was amazing standing on the front porch snapping pictures of the snow falling while the sounds of children playing drifted through the night air.

For many of these children this was their first snow experience:).

Our back patio covered in snow.
By morning the snow blanketed everything in a layer of sparkling white.
This was Terra Cottage's first snow:).
Pale hues of pink illumintated the shimmering layers of white.
No sitting on the bench today!
The flag adds a burst of color to the backdrop of white.

Spanish moss and snow-an unusual combination!

Sparkling trees.

A snow trimmed fountain.

Kasey, Calvin, and Lizzy enjoyed their first time playing in the snow:).

By lunchtime it was mostly melted with only the remnants of snowmen remaining around town.

Of course, there was no time to play in the snow as I had to prepare for tea with the wives of hubby's quartet members later in the day.

It was a small gathering with an Earl Gray and Vanilla tea blend being served.

Cranberry scones with strawberry preserves, cheese straws, and olives to nibble.

After tea we all met at a local restaurant for dinner.

Sunday was a time to rest.

Kramer was curled up (so was his tail:).

Kasey, Lizzy, Calvin, and Kramer were worn out from all of the weekend excitment.

While they rested I prepared a pot of Vanilla Rose tea and a small plate of chocolates and spent some time reflecting on the LOVE-liness of the Valentine's Day weekend:).

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

What kind of LOVE-ly things did you do?
