Easter III: A White Easter


I was making pear pancakes yesterday when it started snowing outside. It's been cold and semi-snowing for a couple of days now, but, this time, they were big flecks of snow that would stay on the ground. I took a couple of very dark arty photos of the snow falling and I went out this morning to take some in the light. This is one of the dark shots. I think it's pretty.


This is a shot of my street. I love the way the cosy, mismatched, old Dutch houses of my town fit so snugly into a snowy cityscape.


And a picture of the garden.


Last but not least, the pancakes!

It's snowing here, too. And hailing. It's so beautiful!
Those pancakes look good as well. Is that cream cheese on the side?

I really hope the snow isn't gone completely by tomorrow.

It's Soyatoo, which I've recently discovered.

Isn't it supposed to be WARM by Easter??? Even here in Texas, it was in the 40s and 50s.

The pancakes look like the perfect things to warm you up!

I has been snowing over here for the last couple of days. But the snow never even reaches the ground. Anyhow, I am prepared for spring now so I like the snow like sugar on your pancakes much more :)

chocolatecoveredvegan - I know! I read somewhere that it has been the coldest Easter on record for 40years.

Mihl - the snow did stay on the ground for a while here (I even threw a few snowballs this morning). I'm looking forward to spring too, though. We've had our share of cold.
