Jack Frost Paid Us A Visit


It was so very cold last night...the north wind stilled, the moon shone bright and the stars twinkled and with that came the cold. When we woke this morning the thermometer read a chilly 18 degrees. The entire land sparkled with frost. It now feels like Christmas is just around the corner. Melissa and James will be flying to Texas tomorrow !
A few lines from the poem,

Jack Frost
~Gabriel Setoun~
The door was shut, as doors should be,
Before you went to bed last night;
Yet Jack Frost has got in, you see,
And left your window silver white.
He must have waited till you slept;
And not a single word he spoke,
But pencilled o'er the panes and crept
Away again before you woke.

Boy he did visit didn't he? Cute little poem too.
Oh, your pictures - especially in your header - are absolutely stunning!

I also have to add that I saw your Sunshine Family Craft Store a few posts down and, boy, did that sweep me back down memory lane!! I had that store and just LOVED my Sunshine Family! I think I need to look on e-Bay myself (I'm assuming that's where you got it). What a fun gift for yourself! :)

Have a blessed and wonderful Christmas!

P.S. I knit a cute little owl and put his picture up at my blog. He makes me smile so. :) Maybe you'd like to see him too!

Come over to my blog and see the frost pictures I took this Saturday! :-) It's magnificent out right now in Germany. Every morning it seems more frost appears on the trees and grass and it's so pretty.
We were driving though alot of it today and I was in awe... :-)

Frosty blessings!!!!
