It's a Winter Wonderland!

This is actually a picture from last year's snow...I didn't get a photo while it was still light outside!

It just keeps snowing! The flakes today were so big that it almost looked as though it was snowing fake snow! But it was real snow!

I love winter and fresh, cold air and snow. This could be for many reasons: (1) I'm from Iowa and grew up with snowy winters. And snow reminds me of home, my childhood, and holidays; (2) cold weather affords me the opportunity to wear winter coats, scarves, hats, and gloves. I do love to accessorize; (3) I just love the beauty of snow.

So what better song to celebrate this winter wonderland today than the song "Winter Wonderland" sung by Ella Fitzgerald?

Christmas in January

Right outside my door!

Woke up today to a "Winter Wonderland!"  It felt so much like Christmas that I listened to Christmas music as I got ready for the day.

There were even gingerbread cookies in the oven.  How could it feel anymore like Christmas?

So it may not be a birthday tradition, but Christmas is the celebration of Jesus Christ's birthday.

So here's "Winter Wonderland" sung by Ella Fitzgerald.  You may have noticed, but Ella is one of my favorite jazz singers!
