What an intriguing scene waited just beyond my kitchen windowsill... The morning sun was striking the power lines that follow the river. (The green you see is my little ivy plant inside.)
Yes, that is a lot of snow!

This Morning

Blogging is just fun to me. Not even close to the work category. However, I'm sure not into it now as much as I was for a few years there. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeletePerhaps "work" isn't the word. Perhaps it should be "doing something useful." I don't think blogging is doing anything productive, yet I do think it is fun.
DeleteYour pictures tell the whole story. As for fun vs work-----both at times. Right now I have lost my 'love' for blogging as I feel I have shared everything I know or have done. Maybe when spring and summer arrive, we both will have more to share. In the meantime, have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteBlogging IS work!! Those words and pictures don't just 'happen!' While it is still a labor of love - I believe it is still work. I also happen to think it is important work. In my opinion - most bloggers (at least the ones I know) have the gift of hospitality. Just as it is important to make our homes comfortable and attractive for our guests - it is also a sign of hospitality to make our blog friendly and inviting to those who visit us here. As for the writing and pictures - I think that is a of discipline of sorts. Louis Dean has his music - I have my art and writing. Plus we are constantly LEARNING, Vee!!! About others, about ourselves, about technology!
ReplyDeleteI love you and I love your blog! I have always felt it is a friendly, safe, inviting, beautiful place to drop in for a visit or get a word of encouragment for the day. The 'work' you are doing is useful, productive and worthwhile. I, for one, know you have blessed and enriched my life! AND - just look outside your window! Too cold to go out and play!!!
Happy Saturday Vee,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so wonder filled. God's beauty in nature 'one of the many gifts' and when we 'share' whether in blogging, conversation...we're given the opportunity to pass on the inspiration.I know it can be very challenging and time consuming. My blogspots (sharing) have been one of the keys bringing 'joy' back into my life and your 'yes' magical photos make my heart smile this morning. Thank you.
Adding a link of my Lenten Journey gratitude lists below. It's been so good for me to reflect on the many blessings from Our Awesome God.
Wishes for your favorite kind of weekend too.
Good Morning, Vee. Thanks for sharing an awesome view from your window. I've been working on organizing the garage....where does all the clutter come from???!!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very nice weekend.
Good Morinng, very lovely view. The snow has melted here, rain, rain, rain here. (I forgot you all just got walloped again)--I complety understand where your coming from about working on the blog etc. I guess it is time to just start organizing the house. {sigh}--have a Blessed weekend.
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful and dreamy pictures Vee! Please keep you your good "work" - you are so good at it and I love reading your posts. Have a wonderful productive weekend! I'm hoping to bake some Paska today - I've adopted this Easter Bread into my own family tradition.
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Love that bread!
DeleteWhat beautiful, intriguing photos! (but did you really have to show us the snow? Huh?????) ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks magical, Vee! No sun here today so far - just lots of clouds. But I don't mind the rain. It will wash all this white (or brown) stuff away! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou do have a lovely view. It doesn't snow here but this weekend it's rain, rain, rain! All the plants are putting on their Spring color show. Very nice. I thought I was weird taking pictures of power lines (I do). The high wires down the road on Mill Creek do look impressive and pretty in the sunshine. Plus, I appreciate the power they give us so we may live comfortably in our homes. Yeah, I know we pay for it, but I still appreciate the hard work to goes with getting all that to us.
ReplyDeleteI need to do housework too but can't get motivated. Probably just need more coffee. ~:)
So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI do think that blogging is productive and useful. It's encouraging to others, it builds friendships and community, it is a place to keep track of life events. There. Your time was justified! Now onto the house! :)
We are having mild temps and rain today. I hope your snow begins to melt soon. I've read that we may be in for more snow even into April. I do have tulips coming up in the garden, though. What an interesting year in weather we are having!
Have a great day!
Deanna
Hello Vee! Very pretty morning view! Have a delightful day!
ReplyDeleteMagical photos! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos ! Cloudy and mild here maybe even a rain drop or two lol ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good weekend !
ReplyDeleteOoh Vee, it looks like little fairies out in your yard... so magical! xo
ReplyDeleteQuite magical! I have to say though...that's a lot of snow. You mean blogging is not work?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful light display, Vee. What an awesome sight to wake up to.
ReplyDeleteDon't kid yourself, although blogging is fun, it is work too!
Beautiful pictures! It looks Christmas. I do hope your snow will melt quickly & spring will arrive soon. Have a great weekend, Vee.
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Carol
What??? Blogging isn't the real world??LOL Hope your snow melts soon...but slowly. Some times I get on line to check blogs and see what others are doing when we can't do anything outside. Blessings for a fun day. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteVee, I think you've captured winter fairies flying amongst the trees! That is a magical looking capture.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy blogging and there is a certain amount of work to it, the biggest thing for me is dragging my photos to the desktop to resize. However, after I learned to make them smaller they load lickety-split and take up less room.
Magical...is the right word! Is there green grass under all that snow? :)
ReplyDeleteBlogging is real work...and the pay is in friendships and shared ideas and encouragement rather then in dollars and cents. Thanks for your work!
I love how you see the beauty in everything:>) Happy weekend Vee.
ReplyDeleteYou have some beautiful scenes to enjoy just looking out your window.
ReplyDeleteHi Vee!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!! I know that we all want Spring to hurry up and come, but really . . . won't you miss those beautiful magical mornings?!
Blogging is definitely my kind of work!! I too have housework to do, I better get busy!
Hugs,
Barb
I often notice the sun on the power lines as I drive along. Like long golden ropes from pole to pole. We had a beautiful springy day here today but another nor'easter coming tomorrow to add a few more inches of snow. :(
ReplyDeleteCool picture.
ReplyDeleteFiddling around with a blog sure is time consuming. I'm finally finished playing around with mine for a while.
WOW! It is magical. Simple pleasures are usually the best, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteBlogging is REAL work, Mrs. V. Creativity in cyberspace.
ReplyDeleteThose shots of the power lines were, indeed, magical. Glimpses of heaven in unexpected places, I'd say!
Vee, yes, I love using that excuse too...the one about blogging being "work". I agree with the second Linda in your comments :) The winter wonderland you are still experiencing is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot to tell you how much I love that teacup in your new header...it's so pretty!
DeleteIt's not real work? Oh please....say it isn't so! Because I 'work' at it like it really is! lol Love your sweet fairy lights! How amazing to get good photos, too. Sometimes the camera doesn't pick up what our eyes see! Have a good weekend! Any doughnuts left, John? heehee!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...Yes, the backgrounds cover all now. It would be interesting to see what other people see.
ReplyDeleteNow, you need the hidden navbar I just wrote the tutorial on....
What Blogging is not work!! Okay maybe it's like playing house! Spring is coming, just not sure if it has your address! Your funny ;o)
ReplyDeleteRoxy
It looks like a fairy world in your photos. I love it, Vee. Blogging can be work sometimes...but somehow the Mr. doesn't see it that way!;>) xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your part of the country, it is beautiful. It also reminds me that others way of life is different from mine. I would love to get back to blogging, but the money job is pulling me away too much these days. I could come clean your house! LOL
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could "fool around" my blog and make it more appealing. Kelly was my IT person and I'm lost in trying to change things. I've been so busy with my job that I hardly get to blogging anymore; something I've vow to change! XOXO
ReplyDeleteHow magical! Isn't it amazing to be able to capture something like that because it's gone in the twinkling of an eye~
ReplyDeleteIt does look magical. The snow here is finally melted. I will be happy to see green.
ReplyDeleteMagical moments are such a treasure. Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite lovely! Great that you were able to get a such a good photo. I'm just amazed that so many people still have snow. We're getting into our spring storms now.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely, Vee. I hope our winter weather is behind us. We had a thunder storm with hail just a few days ago, but this is Missouri so we're not out of the woods yet in regard to winter weather.
ReplyDeleteThe sun sparkles look so magical! It is always a treat to catch reflections that are that pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo, it is a magic moment. I love the snow as I have said before...and believe me Pal, what you do with your blogging IS real work...and you have mastered it
ReplyDeletehugs
