    ~ Show and Tell Friday ~Last Winter ~



    It's that time again...


     

    I would like to give you a sneak peek into what will come by showing last winter...SNOW.

    I pray we get a good fall of snow and cover our temperary water system and to keep it from freezing this winter. And the boys are already looking forward to snowboarding, sleding, snowmen, and snow caves. 



     

     If you want to join us  just....


    ~Make a Show and Tell Post and make sure it is wholesome. It can be pretty much what ever you want to share.  It could be about you ...or your family ....or what is going on in your homeschooling.

    ~Some how link me ( Canadagirl ) so others will know where to go to join S&T.

    ~Come back to me and  let me know you posted your S&T by using Mr. Linky. ( I need you  to tell me each week that you want to participate  , okay ?  )

    ~If you want the S&T button to put on your blog go HERE

    ~Then
    please go visit other gals wonderful Show and Tells !  Oh,  don't forget to comment.  EVERYONE  loves comments.


     



    "If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them be." ...Charlotte Mason

    You had me there for a minute! I thought you had snow already *grin* We are looking forward to getting some of the white stuff to. It is slowly coming down the mountain but not fast enough for the kids!
    Have a great Friday,

    Hi Miss Mary,
    I am praying that your neighbor's heart softens and that he realizes that you need water rights too.
    Much love, Mama Karen

    So fun to look at snow! We had our first frost yesterday, which is about as close to snow as we get down here. (Has only snowed 1 time in the 3 years we've lived here, and that was only a dusting.)

    My that is a lot of snow! It's so pretty too. I love how slide.com makes photos look so special. I am glad you were able to post these. And thank you for linking me. I wasn't expecting that this morning! I am going to lay low today in hopes that I can regain some lost ground from my running around last night. It was worth it. I was encouraging my dh. But now there is a price to pay...

    I hope we get some snow here, at least for Christmas. We are going to Alberta (to visit my family) for Thanksgiving so I guess we'll get some snow while we are there too. Fun Show & Tell!

    Oh, your place looks just like our Tonasket homestead up on Mt. Hull! When do you usually get your first snowfall? It lasts pretty much all winter, doesn't it? We got 4 feet one year and I guess that was quite the "long winter." I, too, pray for lots of snow up on our mountain! Water, water, water for next summer!

    Pretty snow pictures! We got a little snow this morning, but I couldn't take a picture of it as I think my camera literally eats batteries and I am out of fresh ones - thus no S&T or anything today. blah!! Have a good day my friend.

    I love the first snowfall, and love getting a couple other sledding and snowman making snowfalls, but I am having a hard time thinking about it being cold enough for snow! I will just have to focus on Christmas and how beautiful everything is when it snows.

    Thanks for posting about our butterfly release. To answer your question about the tags - they are just stickers on their wings. Doesn't seem to bother them at all, and several of theirs have for sure made it down to Mexico.

    Mary,
    I'm enjoying my fall colors soooo much - I'm not ready for snow, yet!

    Thursday night was a late night for our family - we were all sitting on Rachel's bed - watching your Show and Tell from last week. My husband and all the kids got to see your sweet slide show of your husband and yourself. Such a good idea!

    Thank you for praying for Grandpa -

    It has already snowed twice here... it didn't stick the first time and was gone by noon the second time, but that counts! I am a winter wimp. I have already whined about the fact that we only had 30 snow free weeks this year. Always philosophical, my husband reminded me that more than half the year!

    I will pray for your water supply through the winter!

    THat's simply amazing to me. We've only had snow like that was, and that was the "Blizzard of 93" as it's called. We've barely had any the last few years. I keep praying for one or two really good 2 day snowfalls! : )
