T Stands for Snow, A Birthday, and Other Things

 Hi everyone. Happy new week and Happy T day also. 

Winter has made a  return to New Hampshire.





In this next photo here's the snow gauge this past Friday after all the little snow events we had  last week.  This photo was taken  before the big Friday night into Saturday snow.


You can see we had 14 inches (over 35 cm) before the big storm. Here  is the snow gauge  after the big Friday night into Saturday storm:


 I guess it's not as bad as some of the places in California where they've had enough snow to practically bury houses. And it sounds like they're going to get some more too. 
 I still hope this is it  for any accumulating snow in New Hampshire. One never knows in March though.

And this week for flowers let me share the bouquet of white roses my husband brought me home for my birthday. He brought them home Friday night after work since my birthday was Saturday, the same day of the big snow storm. 


White (with all the snow) was an appropriate color for my birthday this year.

My birthday was pretty quiet, but it wasn't  a bad day. I spent some time on the phone with my friend in North Carolina and even got an invite from my brother that he would take me out to lunch this week. That's a first. 😀

My daughter and her husband were going to come to my house for my birthday, but with the snow, those plans were scrapped. Instead we planned to meet half way between our homes for a Sunday lunch. (We live around 2 hours apart.)

Here's my link to T day over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog.

For T day this week, here's my drink, the one on the left. Only one is mine; the other one is my husband's.


We were back in Manchester at the Puritan Back Room, and yes, we both had mudslides similar to what I showed you a few weeks back. My daughter and her husband arrived a couple minutes later, and since we didn't have to wait for our table once they arrived, they also ordered mudslides once we were seated for dinner.  I never took any photos once they came as I was too busy chatting. As I mentioned last time I posted mudslides, the dinner speciality of this restaurant is their chicken fingers, which is what we all had.  This time I went "wild" and ordered half plain and half coconut. (smile) The best part is they give you so many that there are leftovers. That's what dinner for tonight (if you read this Monday) or last night (if you read this Tuesday).

That's all for me. Have a great T day and rest of your week.

Oh, boy, 35 cm of snow!!!
Yesterday big, fat, beautiful snow flakes came down. For about ten minutes.
That´s how I like it. Looks nice and is gone again....
Though since I don´t have to drive no more your 35 cm would be nice actually.

Yes to the flowers for a Birthday!
I can´t remember which flower it was a trainee brought me when my Dad had passed. She wanted to comfort me and explained it is in honor for him. Try not to cry.
But for a Birthday in snow - excellent :-)
Big yay to your Brother!!!
No pics cause too much fun sounds great.
Chicken fingers?! Never heard of that.
We "always" take filet bites at KFC - oh, shoot. Think last time was at least three years ago and now I crave that but they´re so far away for it being 2C only!
To a happy T - hugs

Wow! That's a lot of snow Erika. There's no snow here, but Scotland have plenty apparently. It's very chilly though.
Those drinks look delicious.
Hope you had a good start to your week.

Yikes. That is some serious snow. Oh, don't you want it all to go and just bring on the spring?

CJ Kennedy said...

Wow, you got slammed with snow. I echo your wish that I hope no more snow for the season. Your white roses are so pretty. Nice that you were able to get out and celebrate your birthday with your daughter. Those mudslides look good. Happy Sunshine and T Day

Wow! Snow! We're having highs in the 60s and 70s and budding trees.

The white roses are gorgeous. The drink looks tasty and served up so pretty. Happy T Tuesday!

Your mudlsides look delicious! Yum! Happy Birthday, Erika! Sometimes a quiet day is wonderful and relaxing.
We didn't get hardly any snow compared to you. We keep getting predictions of snow fall but then we just get a dusting.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate

Yummy looking drinks! I would want one for sure. The flowers are gorgeous and what luck he got them before you were snowed in so you could enjoy them. Wow - lots of snow! Happy T-day and hugz (extra ones for your birthday).

A couple of my internet friends are experiencing that same snow that crossed the country. They also had snow blowers, which must be a godsend. You DID get hammered.

You got some beautiful roses. They match the snow before it gets mushy and dirty.

Those mudslides look delicious. That is something I might actually drink (grin). Thanks so very much for sharing your snow and your mudslides, as well as your birthday roses with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend.

Happy Birthday. I will tell you I am sick of this weather. Of course I don't have snow like you, but I am not supposed to have snow at all. LOL the flowers are beautiful and I would join you for a mudslide. Have a very nice day today.
