    1. Yesterday, we got snow, Sue. It was lovely. Today wears the gray veil of November skies. I find these days filled with creativity. I think I’m a winter person. LOL! Huge hugs back at you, my friend. 💜

      1. Snow seems to turn everything pure Colleen, and it’s nature’s own purifier. 😍

        I think each Season for me holds merit.
        Though I dislike Fog, and we had a pea-souper of fog here all day Monday that never lifted.
        A very depressing dark dank day here in many parts of England, ( perhaps a reflection of mood) lol .
        That and the constant chemtrails overhead.

        Let’s hope your snowy days bring brightness and cleansing, as the snow blankets the ground.

        Much love Colleen . 😍🙏💕❄️💕

        1. I love every season too, and am always eager for the next one to begin and the old one to end. LOL! We often get snow and fog… I’ll share photos the next time this happens, which should be any day now. LOL! I hope the sun shines and breaks up the gloom. Hugs and love zooming back to you. ❤️
