We had a bit of a snowstorm in Brevard, NC this past week and it was one of those lovely snows that coats everything in a glistening covering of fluffiness. It ended up being more than expected and our yard had probably 10 inches. If you have been to our house you know that we have a long steep driveway. There is no way we could have gotten out even with my trusty Subaru.
So we hunkered down inside, books and cats in laps, tea and coffee steaming in mugs and settled in for a few days. I shared a lot of pictures on Facebook of the snow but if you missed those I will share a couple of my favorites here.
Enough snow pictures. You get the idea. Fortunately we were able to get out of the driveway (thanks to our neighbors who let us go out their driveway) and make it to the airport on Sunday to head to Alabama where it is chillier than usual but no snow around. But now it is time for a teapot. It is Tuesday, after all.
Today’s teapot was an eBay find from the woman who was selling her mother’s massive teapot collection. Yes—it was way bigger than mine and I reaped the benefits. This cute little teapot is all blue and sparkly and snowy. Perfect for a winter brew.
It snowed last year too: I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down
and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.
