A Snowy Valentine's Porch

 

 

 

I was up early for morning mass today, since my streets were not yet plowed and drivable Sunday morning. It is always such a peaceful thing to accomplish early in the morning and on this frigid, sunny morning I noticed how wintery and pretty my snowy Valentines's porch looked. The red burlap ribbon on the wreath very simply propped in the corner, gives a bright pop of color in our snowy landscape.

 

 

On my front door, I welcome guests with a wreath with red and white berries and a touch of Valentine's Day cheer. This wreath has a story and was repurposed from a holiday wreath found on clearance.

 

 

There are mounds of snow on both sides of the porch with a narrow path to approach. Where will we put any more snow? And, there is another six inches to come tonight. I keep these little trees, with lights shining in the dark, through February. They look so pretty when the snow is falling.

Happy Tuesday!

  1. That's a sweet little bird and valentine on the wreath. Repurposing is away of life for me, you can make so many wonderful decorations that way. We are getting our first big snow of the season, suppose to get around 11 inches. Have a great week.

  5. It's 3:30 pm and the snow is just starting here. Our porch is a bit neglected this year. Hope to do a bit of Valentine's this weekend. Yours looks so cheery and I'll bet the twinkle lights look pretty at night.

  6. What a winter we are having, right?
    I loved what you said about being up early to attend mass-
    I could just picture it.
