“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
Isaiah 26:3
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool”
Isaiah 1:18
It’s the four letter word that paralyzes the deep south…

And guess what?! It is in our forecast for this weekend! For parts of the country where snow is common during the winter months, the words “wintry mix” would be no big deal. But for us southerners, we take no chances and raid the nearest grocery store for the two essentials: milk and bread! Since snow is such a rarity for us, it’s not uncommon for schools and businesses to shut down and for time to stand still! In hopeful preparation of a weekend of winter weather, I wanted to share with you all what a snow day might look like for me here in the Appalachian foothills!
We always love our view, but there’s just something about the winter snow that brings a calm!
There’s always the chance that we will lose power when it snows and accumulates…so a french press is a must for this coffee lovin’ girl!
The photo opps are endless when the white stuff covers the ground! This was taken two years ago in our downtown area where the train tracks cross over the Coosa River!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
The Christmas decor is down and as much as I loved all of the color and sparkle it added, I am ready for something simple! It’s almost like we decorate for Christmas and we enjoy it for a few days and before you turn around good, it’s over! Is it just me or do y’all feel this way too?! For this week’s table, I took it down a notch and literally had it set in fifteen minutes using only what I had on hand! I am of the opinion that you can’t go wrong with fresh fruit flanked with candles! And since the cold weather is here, why not dig through my collection of scarves to find that perfect table runner?! We’ve got overnight guests here with us, so a table for four is just what we need!
