Today’s challenge question is, why do I blog? That’s an easy one. It’s because of all of you. As I said in another post this month, I started out blogging to share the Japan trip with everyone who contributed to the gifts Alex and I delivered. But during that time I made friends. And through the years I’ve made more friends. I guess some people would call us acquaintances, but I think of you as friends and I hope you feel the same way about me. So that’s why I blog. I love reading about your lives in your own blogs, and I love the conversation back-and-forth that the comment section provides for us.
I woke up this morning to 3 inches of beautiful snow. I haven’t watched the weather for a couple days so I was totally surprised to see it. I’m sorry about the screen in this first picture. I didn’t realize how much it would show up.
It always looks so pretty when it first falls, before it gets driven on. I don’t think it will last very long as it is supposed to be in the upper 30’s for the next day or two.
I’m still working on the socks that will be a Christmas gift. I’m using Knit Picks new Static yarn in the Terrarium colorway. The pattern I’m using is Cindy’s over at the “Delighted Hands” blog on my side bar. It has quickly become one of my favorite “go to” sock patterns. It is an easy four row repeat.
Hoping you all have a wonderful Tuesday. Can you believe it is December already?
Blessings,
Betsy
Lovely Christmassy photos with this seasonal snowscape. Snow is great to see from behind a window as far as I am concerned. I am a sunlover!! I keep reminding Sr P I married him for the sun...LOL! It is a family joke :-) I adore that little socks advent calender...I hope you will tell us what treats you get from each one. What a great friend you have who filled each sock for you! I imagine Piper would be thrilled to share the surprise with you, when you contact on VC and check your advent sock on that day. As for blogging I agree with you definitely friends...acquaintance sounds like someone you say hello to in passing :-) I have thoroughly enjoyed your November posts ... each and every one! keep well Amanda x
ReplyDeleteNo can't believe its December, our first day is done, tomorrow is 2nd as 10pm here on 1st!
ReplyDeleteI must get the tree done, still two dozen cardsto write in and mail or hand deliver as I keep adding to my list! Just as well I'm still making them!
I must finish this week or that's my desire. Not sure if I'll blog tomorrow. Time will tell. Would rather not.
But its a special WOYWW anniversary, no 600!
Love your snow so pretty.
Here I am in a summer sundress with doors a d Windows open! 😳😜🤣😆
I'm looking forward to your stockings so glad you're sharing!
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.

Pretty socks Betsy! And beautiful snow. You are right, it is so pretty when it first falls and no one has driven on it. I've enjoyed your blog posts ALL November!!
ReplyDeleteSurprise snow! That's quite a bit for overnight! Very pretty. Love the new socks on the needles--I'm glad you like the insert lace; I'm wearing my pair now! I'm glad you are still blogging, you are our cheerleader!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing out the month! Your posts have been a joy to read. Your snow is lovely with your lights. How cozy. It's wet and still rather warm here. Looks like we are in for another muddy Christmas here in the Atlantic states. My son woke up to a lot of snow in Michigan. They are expecting their first child any day now so I know it's making them nervous. Me too for so many reasons....
ReplyDeleteWe woke up to snow, too. In fact, in the middle of the night, I had to look out our balcony door to see why it was so light and bright outside. Lo, and behold, there was snow everywhere! SO, so pretty. Ours should last a bit longer than yours because I don't think it will get up over freezing temperature today. Congratulations on 30 straight days of blogging!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your daily posts in November and look forward to the surprises your friend tucked into the advent socks.
ReplyDeleteYou are a great blog friend...so happy I found you! I am anxious to see what is in your stockings also! Snow...I am not thrilled...and Spring seems so far away:(
ReplyDeleteNo, I really can't believe it is December. Congrats on daily blogging in November. Let's hope I can keep up the momentum this month. :) I look forward to see posts from you, too. Definitely am grateful for the friendships I've made through this community over the past 11 years. Thanks for being my blog friend. Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteWe were gifted with 6 inches of snow this morning in Northern Ohio. The forecast ranged from 3 inches to 12 inches (we are midway between Toledo and Cleveland and have to guesstimate our weather), so 6 isnt' bad. We are under a weather warning for more this evening, so we will see what tomorrow might bring. You get to peek in your first stocking today!! (I should say it was 50 degrees here and sunny on Sunday, LOL)
ReplyDeleteThe snow makes everything look amazing!! December begins with a surprise snowfall. Congrats on blogging every day in November. I know it's not easy
ReplyDelete( although I suppose having the prompts every day gave you a subject. That's often the problem I have is what to blog about because my life is also very simple and uneventful.)
Congrats on completing the challenge. As a 3 post a week blogger I don't think I would ever want to do it each day.. I think it would stress me out. The snow sure is pretty! My tree did not come yesterday or today so I called Home Depot and threw a hissy at a poor phone person. They have no idea where it is. Color me peeved. But at least I got my cards from the printer yesterday and I addressed one to your new address a bit ago. ::-D. Dayle just made us some ham fried rice for dinner, it was yummy. Tell Dennis hello for us! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

We woke up to about that much snow today - it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's been chilly at night. I felt blessed by seeing Mt.Hood have a nice blanket of snow on it while going on overpass into town to get a few items at Bimart. I wish more readers would leave comments on my blog. Many people read it. I like sharing my photos and life stories including Jesus! Yep it's December. I need to get going on decor and cards. Take care
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed your daily blogs and am looking forward to seeing what little surprises your little socks will hold for you in December!
