Icing On The Cake

| | Tickle My Senses (11)

I received a gift from a sweetheart this morning when I woke up, one that made me smile from ear to ear! All the way from MI... The softest white fuzzy blanket you can imagine. A blanket that clings to branches, telephone lines, plants. Enchanting and glistening, covering my world in a pretty untouched white for me to photograph and enjoy. Causing a sense of childhood elation... *thank you!*

How I would love to shake those trees and have a snow shower!

After all these months it finally arrives?
Hope ya went out and shook some branches :-)
Looks like good snowball snow too ;-)
(now where did I put that sledge?)

Tess said:

Jim: beautiful hey? Yes... after all those months but it was worth waiting for! No I didn't go out... I'm waiting for company to go out and shake some trees, it's not fun on your own :)

(sledge: YAY!)

No snow here erghhh, oh well I'll just enjoy the sunlight and flowers blossoming. I would love to have a snowfight someday, just to have the feeling of it.

jim said:

hmmmm. . . now who was it kept wanting me to go out for the last several months for non-fun without company ;-)

I hope the white didn't stunt those blossoms. . . I keep watching for them outside my door. . . any day now :-)

Tess said:

Reuben: it never crossed my mind that you might not have snow out there, I feel embarrassed now... Silly me... You don't want a snowball landing inside your collar when it's freezing, trust me ;)

Jim: sorry brain just broke down and is temporarily out of order :p
I think blossoms are dead, but will check tomorrow :( hope you'll have yours soon! :)

Wonderful pics! I can just imagine how nice it feels to touch the snow :)

jim said:

It's OK and understandable.

Sorry about blossoms though :-(

Tess said:

Wen: thank you :)
Snow feels cold and wet *hehe* and is only fun every now and then... I prefer your lovely sunshine to be honest :)

Jim: blossom was fine actually ;)

Hi :)

I can't seem to be able to leave comments in your latest post :)

Sorry to hear about your mouse. Good luck with all your projects! I know what you mean re the boat...I went to Sicily last year, the weather was dreadful and I got dizzy, I went to the toilet to puke many times :(

I had thought about that channel that you mentioned. It must be scary but exciting.

Have a lovely week :)

I wanted to bring you a nice fuzzy fleece blanket to wrap up in... I guess it's virtual.

Um, I wanted to say though... I don't like feeling lonely, and I do alot. :( Hugs sweetie, miss you much.

Monica

Tess said:

Wen: Hi Wen, I turned off comments on that post... you got me ;)

Thank you for your sweet comment though, I've been so extremely busy I didn't have time to visit anyone and will be off tomorrow morning. Sorry to hear about your Sicily adventure: it sounds horrible, just like mine, sorry you had to go through all that! Hope it didn't last for 6 hours ;)

The tunnel is scary in a way, yes, but it only takes 40 minutes and you can't really tell that you're under water *hehe* Keep yer fingers crossed ;)

Monica: Hi dear friend, thank you for the warm, cosy blanket *hug*. Virtual can be as good as real and I know it comes from a good heart so, thank you for the wonderful gift :)

I'm sorry you feel lonely, I have been visiting you but thought you might wanted some time for you... I shouldn't assume though. I know you could use some hugs too!!! I'll be back soon k? And thank you for missing me... *you know what I mean ;) *

Hugs back at you!

Expat Life: I moved from Amsterdam to London, Aug. 2006. Things didn't quite work out as planned and I found myself on my own in a foreign country.

Reflection: 2007 Has been a difficult year but I've managed to accomplish a lot more than I thought I ever could. I've set up my own business, survived a serious health issue, met some amazing people and found my future...

Personality: At times stuck in a time warp of ideas and thoughts, Mixed Blood [Eurasian seems to be the fancy word for it: Indonesian and Dutch], typical Capricornish Goat, Sensitive, Crazy about Apple Macs and anything related, Gadget Girl, Intelligent, Psychological profiling of all kind, Sucker for all sorts of stuff that makes my OS run like: Coffee and Chocolate, Deep Thinker, Perfectionist, Foolish, Silly, Stubborn [WHAT?... ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!
