The Sunday Creative - Thaw

Here's the thing - melting snow is rarely beautiful.  Snow is beautiful when it first falls and is untouched.  But start adding in sand and salt so it will quickly melt off the road, then add in dirt and pollution and you end up with a muddy slush, not something I usually consider beautiful.  But add in a little PW Vintage Action and it looks a bit better.

We had a warm spell at my house for a few days and the snow was quickly melting - this is what I found near my driveway.  If you look closely you can see the blades of grass sticking their heads up.

Since winter isn't going away anytime soon, I'm choosing to try and enjoy it, with the help of some of my favorite winter songs - including this one by The Head and the Heart:

Christmas Eve

By mid-day Christmas eve the snow had stopped and the sun was out - it was simply beautiful.  Dad and I needed to run to the grocery store to pick up a few last minute items so we took the long way there and back and grabbed a few photos along the way.

Not only did I collect some gorgeous photos of my hometown, I learned something new.  As a teenager my dad helped build the beautiful barn in the fourth row, right photo.  I love learning things like that.

Here's a fun little video for "Winter Song" from Sara Bareilles, it always makes me smile.
