Over a foot of snow fell yesterday.
It was a winter wonderland.
Since we are alone for Christmas,
it will be a treat to have a white one.
Light and fluffy.
Windy and cold.
It found it’s way into everywhere.
The clean-up began.
I think our snowman likes being in the snow, too.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white.

About Jennie
I have been teaching preschool for over thirty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about.
I am highlighted in the the new edition of Jim Trelease's bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at both the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, and the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital.
A Teacher's Reflections 
It really was pretty snow. Your snowman does look happy. Have a great weekend, Jennie.
Thanks, Dan. I think he enjoyed the snow! Happy weekend to you.
If it makes you happy to have snow, then that makes me happy for you, Jennie.
I don’t want any in Beetley though! š
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. I must say that my frozen toes and fingers at the end of the cleanup were not happy.š
The snow is pretty but I will be happy with my sunny Spain Christmas. Enjoy the season, Jennie!
When in Rome? Iām sure my feelings on the snow will be quite different in February. š Best to you, Darlene. š
Very nice Jennie
Thank you!
Always welcome
I’m so jealous!!!

Very pretty Jenny and your snowman indeed looks quite pleased. I confess though, watching the news coverage of the norāeaster from down here in AL made reaffirmed my not missing New England winters.
Thanks, Kim. I know what you mean. A big Christmas snow is wonderful. A big February snow is not.

Thank you!
It looks pretty. I hope you’re feeding the birds.
Thanks, Anneli. Yes, feeding the birds is a āmustā. I think thatās why they build nests and like living here. š
We’re having very cold and windy days and the birds just go crazy over the feeders, especially when I put out new suet and refill the feeders. I had a chickadee come to eat at a newly filled feeder just inches from my face. He couldn’t wait until I left.
Wonderful!
How beautiful it looks! Your snowman reminded me of Gloria…similar noses? Not sure, but I thought of her.
Stay warm, merry, and bright! š„°āā
Awww… Iām so glad the snowman reminded you of Gloria. She will be thrilled to know.
On a Gloria side note…weāre not allowed to have anything stuffed or with fabric in the classroom this year. Thank you, COVID. We have to be careful with Gloria, so the spontaneous love has to be pulled back . I hate that. Itās not natural for the children. Plus, Gloria has always gone home for weekends with children.
And then Connor (the child who adores Gloria) begged to take Gloria home for Christmas. I caved. I might be in trouble, but I donāt care. I did the right thing. This will mean the world to Connor, and to Gloria. ā¤ļø
Aww, that’s fantastic for Connor and Gloria! I know they’re going to have a jolly time together. š„°
Indeed! š
š„°
Wow! Christmas snow is here!
Yes! āļø
Please keep all of the snow in your yard.
Hahaha! I will, but when it comes to a February snowfall, can I please send it to your yard?
No! Please keep it all for yourself.
š
Brrrr. Looks like a roaring fire would come in handy.
Definitely!
Lovely video, Jennie, thanks! I lived in the winter snow for most of my life and still miss it sometimes. Course, I wasn’t the one usually doing the cleanup work, so that makes a difference:)
Thanks, Becky. Where did you live? Hubby and I split the snow blowing. By February… the joy of snow has lost itās luster. But now, it is delightful. š
Most recently, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, so LOTS of snow. One year, we had so much that the snow blower couldn’t throw it any higher. The walkway from the driveway to the back door felt almost like a tunnel. We had to hire someone with a truck to haul part of it away:)
I remember the year the snow was higher than the snowblower. We also had to get a roof rake. Michigan gets lots of snow!
Merry Christmas, Jennie. I’m about to do the Covid test as we’re going to be with a group of six (including our son, who we haven’t seen since February.)
Merry Christmas to you, Pete. We havenāt seen our son since last Thanksgiving, so I know how you are feeling. Not seeing the grandchildren is the hardest part. I am SO glad (understatement) you will be getting together with your group and your son. That makes me very, very happy!
A lovely thought, Jennie; and the same to you. What a year it’s been, eh? Wonderful video, btw.
Thank you so much. Yes, it has been quite a year! Iām glad you enjoyed the video. Brrrr. Best to you.
Have a Magical Merry Christmas! šš
You too, Bette! šš„°
Holiday Hugs! š

we got snow here too, not as much as MA, but more than our normal snowfall. We have snow in the forecast for Christmas eve and Christmas morning. I love waking up to new snow on Christmas day and since we won’t be traveling I’ll enjoy it even more. Hope you enjoy the wonder of your new fallen snow and the holiday season
I do hope you wake up to snow on Christmas morning. Thank you, Lori.
Oh how I do miss me a good snow! Thanks for the gander out your home windows.
Thank you, Laura. Glad you enjoyed the view. š
Wow you have so much snow already!! I do hope we get snow here in Oregon this year āļøāļøā¤ļø
I hope you do!
The snow is lovely, and I agree–it’s at least some consolation for spending the holidays alone. We’re working construction in Tahoe next week, and I’m looking forward to seeing the snow-capped vistas, both large and small (and besides, the superintendent has promised wicked good propane heaters).
Sounds just wonderful in Tahoe!
Really Nice
Thank you.
Wow! That’s a lot of confectioner’s sugar Mother Nature put on your trees and lawn, Jennie. š Enjoy your white Christmas!
Yes!! Thank you, Sarah! š
Here our polar bear light display looks right at home with snow up to her midsection. Happy snow here too. Light and easy to snowblow.
That must be fun to look at. Thank goodness it was the light stuff.
Then more just this afternoon.
Yes!!
I must say, if the forecast is right ours with be green and dank, but it will be as Merry as the latest lockdown allows. Have a good one, Jennie.
Enjoy your Christmas, whatever the weather. š
Thank you for sharing your winter wonderland with us, Jennie! The snow prettified our place as well.
Youāre welcome, Liz. It was pretty.

Beautiful

Absolutely beautiful! Love this winter landscape

Thank you, Magarisa!
My pleasure!
Oh Jennie! How lovely and what a sweet post! Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Michele. Merry Christmas to you! š
How absolutely beautiful! āļø
Thank you!
Sure looks a winter wonderland Jennie. We’re told we ‘may’ have a white Christmas, so far not. Wishing you a safe and happy, cozy holiday season. ā¤
It was a beauty. The Christmas forecast calls for heavy rain and high winds. ā¹ļø Much love to you, Debby.š
Stay warm – and hydrated LOL ā¤
Thanks, Debby! š„°
I miss the beauty of snow, Jennie, but not the clean up! Enjoy all the blessings of winter. Stay warm and peaceful and have a wonderful holiday. Hugs. ā¤
I know what you mean! By the time February arrives, the snow and cleanup has lost itās luster, unless youāre a skier. But for now, the first snowfalls are glorious. Best to you, Diana. š
How amazing is this! I love the snowman butler. š Fantastic, there is snow in New England, but nothing of this in the namegiving country. š Michael
I love how you called the snowman a butler! It is wonderful to have a big snowfall in time for Christmas.
Your post is so delightful!
Thank you, Kally!
Our Christmas’ are never white, Jennie. They are always during the summer. I like the idea of a white Christmas, but I’m not sure the reality would be as nice.
You are right on that, Robbie!
Bless you, Jennie! Stay safe and warm. Injoy the solitude of nature this season and may Joy continue to fill and expand your heart. Love ya!
Thank you for your wonderful words and wishes, Ren. Love you, too.
Thank you!
It looks so beautiful!!š„°
Thank you!
C’est magnifique ā¤ļø
Merci.
Snow is fabulous.
