Sparkly Things

I love sparkly things, you know that? We had some snow on Thursday night, and by Friday morning it was so pretty - only our second real snow of the season, and really, the first snow was more ice than snow. This one was the nice, heavy kind that sticks to tree branches and makes everything seem white, soft, blanketed. I took a camera in my car on the way to work and snapped the view from my windshield... it doesn't capture the true beauty, but I thought I'd share anyway.

I drive 20 miles of scenic, rural road to work...it's hilly, but as you can see the roads were clear so I could truly enjoy the snow view.

The view from my back door was equally impressive... and for you farm & construction equipment fans, I've included a photo where you can see the snow AND a piece of equipment, courtesy of Endless Express Contracting (and Alan Bates, my contractor brother).

I've been enjoying a couple of other sparkly things lately... my hubby bought me a pretty Journey pendant for Valentine's Day, a true treat because he doesn't often buy more expensive jewelry like this. He really made my day when he did this year. I also finished stringing and hand-knotting a set of pearls to wear.

Some of my knots did not come out as close to the pearls as they should be - they're supposed to be snug, right up to each pearl, and many are but some had a little space. So I am not ready to be an expert hand knotter, but it was fun learning and you get a nice result to enjoy when you're done.

As always, thanks for stopping by my blog and allowing me this space to talk about whatever I feel like, what fun!
