I am sure ready for the flowers. This ice and snow can go away!

Brian said...

I know the snow is cold, but the picture is full os warmth!

Cheeseboy said...

Nice. It's 6 degrees here. 6! Pretty sure our groundhog is going to be pulled out frozen of hypothermia.

Hey, if you haven't seen it yet, I finally did the Barney orders Chinese food thing. It's posted now.

Ash said...

what a contrast inside and outside the room! :) cool pic - makes me long for summer!

tiff snedaker said...

Kind of ironic, the flowers with the snow in the background. Love snow, but I'm starting to feel the itch for spring....after seeing this picture. :)

Binky said...

Hurray for Groundhog Day, the best day of the year! Well, next to Wombat Day, of course.

Dee said...

Makes me long for more color! :)

It doesn't look like the groundhog is going to see his shadow at your place.

I have little sprouts peeking up in my garden. So happy we're not snowbound, but you guys are sure having some bad weather.

Now that looks like a window I could spend some time gazing through! No snow here in Phoenix, although it's been somewhat chilly and rainy.

Apryl said...

Too cute! I can't wait for spring.

Jennifer-Eighty MPH Mom said...

What a gorgeous view out of your window...lucky!

Cakeblast said...

Wonderful pic - best of both worlds.

therunninggarlic said...

Love the sunflower ...one of my favorites!

Russ AKA Grampy said...

Great Picture. Think I'll try that. It has been a long time since we have seen the sun. Five more inches of snow yesterday. Up to 75 so far and it is snowing now with freezing rain mixed in. Suppose to last all day.
Hurry Spring.

WonderWhyGal said...

It's a beautiful illusion...

BusyWorkingMama said...

That looks like a LOT of snow out there. Hope you enjoy the view!

Jenn @ Beautiful Calling said...

We got over a foot of snow last night. I'm feeling snowbound today!

I love seeing the diverse pictures on WW…fantastic photo shots to crazy kid shots. How fun! Would love for you to come and have a giggle at my son’s cardboard crown.

Felicia said...

That is an amazing shot!!

That Bald Chick (formerly ladyvdzine) said...

Now that is a window I would like to drink coffee in front of.

Illusions, delusions--what would we do without them?

We are officially snowed in here! Love the touch of spring with a snowy background!

Simply Being Mommy said...

No snow here but it might snow Thursday night or Friday.

William K Wallace said...

Nice picture and all the different colours are cool. If anybody has too much snow please send it to London straight away because I love it and we haven't got any...

Aramelle said...

Your window decor is a nice reminder of the sweet reward that comes at the end of all that snow.

Blessings Abound said...

Ahh, to be that warm again! :)

Penelope said...

The color combo is beautiful…the flower especially adds something pretty awesome.
