That might be the last time you see snow like that in your lifetime! Let's hope so.

Hi Jean, I love your house and garden! The snow does indeed make everything magical, clean and pristine. Good for your bird count too. Poor little birds, they come to Louisiana to escape the snow! And yes, h*ll must be freezing over with all of those events. It was the best of times and the worst of times....

Jean,
The climbing rose in the snow is really beautiful! We are in Durham, NC and have had 3 snow events so far unheard of here!

The snow looks so pretty. We only had some fat, wet flakes for about 45 min, then rain again. I can't believe how bare the garden is this winter. Only my camellias are blooming and they have slowed down because of the cold. Can't wait for warmer weather.

Hello Jean and Happy Valentine's Day. The snow adds such a beautiful and different dimension, doesn't it? We had experienced unseasonable freezing in the PNW for an extended period of time and now nearly a month of 50 degrees which has caused the plant life to emerge quickly. Crazy weather. By the way, I saw that (cartoon)... the hell freezing over showed Washington, DC. ;)

Had the snow from two nights ago until yesterday afternoon. It was fantastic, but the greatest thing is it doesn't stay around too long! Love your shots!

The daffodils and camellias will be ever so much more appreciated after this monochromatic blanket of white. Where is your snowman?

Oh, the 'captcha' word today I have to type in to post is 'barke'. Appropriate.

Snow changes everything doesn't it? Very pretty, but I'm sick to death of the white stuff. Hear more is coming tomorrow. It rarely snows in Oklahoma, but this is no normal year. Just think of the spring we'll have.~~Dee

It missed us...again. I like snow. Especially, since we don't ever get much.
Our old house, in DFW area, got lots this time, though.
Your garden does look quite lovely, with its white blanket.
I am SO ready for spring. Hope it's not too late, this year.

Jean, your gardens look lovely in the snow. Seeing your Mme Alfred against the house makes me inclined to move mine. She's on a split rail fence and has never really been happy there. Perhaps she'd rather go up than across.

I've got to get a bluebird box and see if it will lure any to my garden. I loved the picture of yours!

Jenny - the climbing rose is Madame Alfred Carriere.

I haven't been brave enough to go into the greenhouse yet but I think everything should be fine. The possible exception to that might be the olive tree which was the tallest plant in there!

Your garden looks wonderful A covering of snow sometimes can be an asset to the plants, bringing out their winter structure. I wish we had had some because I would be feeling a lot better looking at my garden covered in snow. There is still time I guess and who knows with this freaky weather pattern. I hope your greenhouse survived and any plants you have inside. What kind of rose climbs up the house? I did see the mama cardinal. Even in the cold the cardinals are out singing.

This is beautiful, Jean! As tired as I am of winter, the magical scenes created by a fresh snowfall still amaze me. Snow seems to have reached so many places this year that aren't used to it. No wonder Saints' fans think hell has frozen over!:) I watched the Super Bowl, sort of rooting for the Colts, but a part of me was hoping the Saints would win. Now if my Chicago Cubs get to the World Series this year, we'll really know the end of the world is near!!

Very lovely photos Jean except of your greenhouse!...

2010-02-13T07:55:29.841-06:00

Very lovely photos Jean except of your greenhouse! I hope no permanent damage is done to your pop up! You have as much snow as we do right now... all the snow this winter has moved across the south and east of us. Enjoy! ;>)

The nice thing about a Southern Style Snow....it doesn't last long.

I see that you have plenty of wood to help keep you warm and I would have missed the pretty cardinal had you not mentioned it. I was so focused on the snow.

Congrats on the SB win. I guess the Saints ain't the ain'ts anymore.

Wow, it is beautiful. It totally missed the north part of Alabama but snow is predicted for Sunday. I'm glad you guys farther south got to enjoy it!

So pretty! Reminds me of, well, here, where we also have a nice snow cover on everything. But then, we are supposed to in February.

Hopefully your snow will melt soon and not do too much damage in the garden.

We didn't get any in Austin, and I'm not really sorry. But your pics make me a little nostalgic for those occasional spring snows we'd get in S.C., where I grew up. Enjoy it while it lasts. Spring does seem as if it'll be late this year.
