This past Thursday, Perry’s Point welcomed its first little snowfall for the season, just enough to get this cranky-pants in the festive mood for Christmas.
Speaking of being welcomed, our neighbours rolled out the welcome mat in more ways than one that evening when they invited us over for supper.
Unbeknownst to us until we ventured outside — and unnecessary because there were only a couple inches of the white stuff — “W” had cleared a path from our house to his. A sweet little gesture that put smiles on our faces. Check it out:

Love that hood, Jennifer! I know you said this snow quickly melted, but it does look pretty. Have you gotten any more?

Thank you, Barbara. Sorry so late responding! That snow melted but we have a bit more since then, though nothing major. I hope you had a nice Christmas. Happy New Year to you!:)

Ha ha – I am late in responding to this comment! It’s hard for me to get on the blog when I’m reading a book, so I go through a cycle of reading, then blogging and visiting other blogs, then I start over!

That sounds like the sensible way of doing things. When I get in a zone I find it hard sometimes to switch gears.

A perfect path for you and what considerate and kind neighbours! It is so uniform in shape I’m impressed. Wow! The next day looks stunning but so cold! Btw, is Perrys Point a coincidence or is it named after you?

We lucked out in the neighbour department for sure, Annika. As for being cold, my coat is down-filled so no worries there, it keeps me good and toasty.
Perry’s Point was named after my husband’s predecessors and relatives from way back. Besides Paul, there are still a few descendants left, so the name sticks. 🙂

We were delighted (and touched) to see the path when we went out, Andrea. As for the scenery, that pic was taken in our “backyard” just before we left to walk. 🙂

Jenny, with neighbours like yours it is like the central heating is on before you walk in.
Love the pictures and the quote.

I like Gibran’s quote you’ve used. Perhaps that answers my question why rain causes general vexation yet snow brings us out in celebration. Nice photos.

Me too. When I found that quote I fell in love with it. And yes, so much more comfortable to walk during a snowfall compared to a cold rainfall. Thanks. 🙂
