I'm headed out shortly, to babysit.  Oh, woe is me, what a chore.  We'll see if there is any donut eating after I weigh this morning!  

 

This is my view out back this morning:

 

A little powdered sugar this Fat Tuesday Morning!

I am a little late to the sugar party but none-the-less appreciating your photos.  Unfortunately, I started reading about the sweets and the chocolate cake.  And, NO, I will not get in my car to drive to Krispy Kreme.  I will stay home, read, write and eat fruit. 

 

Glad I only see snow in photos most of the time!!

Crazy weather here in Charlotte, NC 75 degrees, birds chirping, pollen flying and the Cherry Blossoms in bloom. Not complaining.....

Nice pictures! We haven't gotten much snow at all this year--and today we're on day 2 of 3 50+ degree days. Not complaining, just surprised by how mild it is this winter!

KarenLynnn 1160 pts

 LetThemEatGreat we got another sticky wet snow overnight, but the windows are coated in ice so I can't really shoot the trees without going outside.  it looks beautiful though :)  

 

my tulips and daffodils are poking through the ground.  we were lulled into a false sense of security with our winter being so mild.  winter is back today.

Pretty shots-- powdered sugar donut-y snow. Not that I was thinking about donuts. Nope. Especially not Krispy Kreme donuts.

KarenLynnn Karen, my husband told me to tell you this, "Virginia, you've never done anything for one. For a crowd, yes. Be real!" End of quote. lol!

Sounds yummy. Did you try it yet? You could probably cut back on the sugar, 4 Tbsp is a lot or Agave, Stevia.... Just a thought:)

KarenLynnn 1160 pts

 cookingwithkary i'd like to cut back on the oil too, but i guess that's not an option?

Darn...I was ready for donuts as well. But, the photos are BEE-U-TI-FUL and surely have less calories....darn again....Thanks for sharing KarenLynn!

KarenLynnn 1160 pts

SunbonnetSmart.com you know, it totally took away my desire for a donut! there was mother nature providing the confectioners sugar for me! but i didn't eat any snow. haha! thanks for your sweet words :)

From your title, I totally thought you were talking about some Fat Tuesday feast you were cooking up! Funny how wrong I was! I love light dustings of snow and I love when my dog comes in looking like a sugar doughnut and shakes it all off becoming just a regular cake. Enjoy your day!

KarenLynnn 1160 pts

FatCat yeah no, FC, we are on a diet (ugh). my dogs come in with snowballs stuck to their legs and chests. it's definitely paw wiping weather. all that sugar coating on the trees and lawn is gone now. mud has replaced it!

KarenLynnn 1160 pts

alienbody thanks, it sure was pretty! all gone now. just enough snow to get my car filthy lol

We had a dusting this morning and I loved the way you captured the trees :)

KarenLynnn 1160 pts

victorias_view thanks! i just love when it snows and it sticks to everything. i pulled out the real camera for more morning snow shots, be on the lookout! :)

@BehavioralChild Megan, it's gone already. staying warm in wisconsin is nearly impossible, except in late june, july and early august. IF we are lucky. lol

So is mine -- but it's from the Paczki. Heh. We did wake up to a light dusting but it was already melty in most places -- just a wee bit left in the garden, which is all gone now, I think.

KarenLynnn 1160 pts

Denise Why are they named paczki and pronounced putzka?
