Yes, Mother Nature surprised us
Thursday night with snow in Texas.
We had only a dusting here at Hyacinths for the Soul,

video of her horses on this snowy day.
They don't seem to mind at all!
Sadie, on the other hand,

are called "Snowy Smiles".
To pull out the red and yellow colors
of "Snowy Smilies" I used a yellow dinner plate
for one setting and a red one for the other.
The Courtly Check chargers mimic
the border of the salad plates.
The snow people thought these colorful glasses
with etched "snowballs" were a good choice.

I wanted you to feel warm and cozy, so
