It doesn't snow very often in North Carolina so when it does it's a big deal. This weekend we had a few inches of snow here and this morning I went outside and took a few photos.
The frost on my car.
The poor helebores which are already in bloom.
Frost on the nandina bushes.

I grew up in Canada and lived there most of my life and so I was very used to having snow, lots of it, but now that I've been here in North Carolina I am happy with only an occasional snowfall.
I've changed in other ways too since we moved here. When someone asks us over for BBQ I don't expect to have chicken or steak anymore. When someone says, "Bless her heart", I know it is not a compliment. I've adjusted to the many of the ways they do things differently here.
But I NEVER thought I would put a teabag in a mug to make tea and think that it actually tasted good!
What I've discovered is that the teabags here are only meant for one cup of tea and I am accustomed to making tea in teapot which means I pour more than one cup of water in the pot and so it's too weak. I was at a friend's house this weekend and there was no teapot and only Red Rose tea, decaf no less! It actually tasted good. Next thing you know I'll be calling y'all, y'all! Translation for you northerners, that means I'll be calling everyone of you y'all.
Each Monday Mary At Little Red House hosts a Mosaic Monday. My snow photos made such a pretty collage that I decided to join in with her today. Make sure you visit Mary where you can see lots of beautiful photography.
I hope today is a great start to a great week for you.
