Snow

This IS the first day of spring here in southeast Va. This is what's happening outside this afternoon!
(Actually, it's NOT first day of spring-it's the second, thanks, Mom).


I'm participating in another wonderful online workshop with Jude Hill , "What If Series". 

We're exploring the color white.  I was thinking
that this snow today is different from the heavy, freezing stuff we get in winter.
Thinking about the different kinds of snow and how these could be described in a nine patch
form.

There's a funny urban legend about the different names for snow. Check it out and say the
words out loud.

  1. hi from Saskia over at Jude's What If class, I was doing a bit of wandering through various blogs and recognized your nine patch, a very nice one I might add (you forgot to mention your name, so I went ahead and 'named' you in a comment)
    btw thanks for the link to fancifuldevices.

  3. Did it. Twice! Sweet little nine patch - very reminiscent of different snows. I like it.
    Doesn't feel like spring in Eastern NC, either. Cold, windy, drizzly and yucky. But I do see wee bits of green and red peeping out from the wooden branches.
    P.S. Green snow???
