Winter stillness in the garden

Once upon a time, last Winter, we woke up to an enchanting view outside.

It had snowed overnight, but somehow because the ground was still oddly warm for January, the snow only stuck to all of the branches and shrubs and twigs.

Even individual leaves on the ground were powdered with snow.

Pet Scribbles is where I share my craft tutorials, home and garden projects, and occasional stories about my cats. I can never have enough pretty craft paints to work with, and I love to make things look time-worn with distressing and aging. Gardening is my therapy!
