♪♫♬ LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW ♪♫♬

101 comments


Inspired by the Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne song

… … sing along if you wish … ;o)

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But “Mister No-Nose” looks delightful

So since we’ve no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn’t show signs of easing,
With JR’s tassels freezing

And a white beret on show,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

The plants attract every snowflake
And Basset, he has a headache

The birds enjoyed lunch and so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

To his left, there’s a white world glistening,
Hey, Truffle, please .. are you listening ?

To his right, there’s just lots more snow.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Our Gorilla looks cool and funky,
But he’s cold, like an old brass monkey ;o)

The wood pigeon says hello,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

The birds found their food by searching,
Then the silver birch gave them perching

But now that we’re all aglow,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How you’ll hate going out in the storm

But by snuggling out of sight,
Soon you’ll be happy and warm

Our Crocus is safe and cosy,
His cheeks are so blue and rosy ;o)

Now the lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow … … let it snow … … let it snow.

Lovely Terra, Conker and especially Truffle looked worn out playing in the snow, and so cosy snuggled up....and its probably the first time I,ve seen Truffle fast asleep and not ready to dash off for a new adventure....

6 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Pam.. Thanks.
Actually, Truffle does sleep quite a lot, but he is VERY active when awake ;o)

6 Feb, 2012

 

I sang along quietly TT (at work). Lovely pictures but I wish it would melt now and the fog would clear :o))

6 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks, yes ... melted a only a little..
.. good singing ... ssshhhh ;o)

6 Feb, 2012

 

I love all those footprints on the step and Conker's snowy fur!! I think they enjoyed their play in the snow.

6 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks ST ..
those footprints soon disappeared as the snow got deeper !

6 Feb, 2012

 

Lovely, sang along with it :-))

6 Feb, 2012

 

Glad you like it Sharnford :o)

Lovely which comes first the tune or the pictures when you think things up..

6 Feb, 2012

 

How could I forget Crocus!! They're so lucky to have you Terra but I bet you would say it's the other way around.

Both true :)

6 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks, Bjs... Good question ..
... in this case, the music came first,
but sometimes it's the other way around. Lol.

6 Feb, 2012

 

Lovely comment, Severnside.
Crocus is always happy .. all day ... every day..

His approach to life and his permanently optimistic outlook have taught me a lot ...

6 Feb, 2012

 

We could all learn something from Crocus then :)))

6 Feb, 2012

 

Bless them, wonderful pics TT. Bet you had as much fun making this as they did! Lol.

Thank you, Fran... how about The PATSY Award. Lol..
" was originated by the Hollywood office of the American Humane Association in 1939. The letters are an acronym, and stand for Picture Animal Top Star of the Year. A later acronym was also included: Performing Animal Television Star of the Year." ;o) Lol.

6 Feb, 2012

 

Nice to have a sing-along now and then, your crew were magical as always.

6 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Stoller... we're still singing here :o)

6 Feb, 2012

 

we could have our own acronyms with a gardening bent (trying to think of even one!)

ROSE - Rioutously Outstanding Serenader Extraordinary?

bit lame, sure others could do better!

6 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Fran...

Maybe you could suggest that on a new blog.
You might get lots of good ideas of acronyms with a gardening theme ...:o)

6 Feb, 2012

 

Aw, what a lovely blog and lovely pictures! :-))

6 Feb, 2012

 

Hello Sheila ..
Thanks so much. Glad you like this. :o) x

I hope your garden isn't too flattened.

6 Feb, 2012

 

Yes Terra - melted a lot today - looking at the charts today see what's in store

6 Feb, 2012

 

I'll look out for your forecast photo. :o)

6 Feb, 2012

6 Feb, 2012

6 Feb, 2012

6 Feb, 2012

 

Oh I'm glad to see my two friends keeping snug and warm. They look really cosy - the best place to be in that weather ;o))
Crocus looks happy in his nice warm cage too :o)
Did they all sing along with you as you wrote the blog ? I did, as I read it lol ;o))

6 Feb, 2012

 

Well I havent enjoyed a sing song like that for a long time, very clever Terra and lovely snowy pictures. We had lots of snow Saturday it thawed a little last night making the pavements treacherous to walk on.Love t at first but wont be sorry to see it go now;0))

6 Feb, 2012

 

the genius is in not only rewriting the words to fit the tune, but having photos to fit as well!

6 Feb, 2012

 

Thank you ...
... WONDERFUL singing coming from Blackpool, Wales and Lancashire..

Thanks Sandra, Hywel and Pansypotter ...

Snow outside ...Conker and Truffle are all snug again this evening ... while Crocus is still playing with his toys :o)))

6 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks Fran ... it was a bit of a challenge..
but fun :o)

6 Feb, 2012

 

grins, set a tune for others to wrestle with ... that'd let us find out how hard you worked at yours!

6 Feb, 2012

 

lol crocus likes the night life Terra haha, glad your all keeping warm xx

6 Feb, 2012

 

Really enjoyed your blog Terratoonie, your very clever putting that all together.

6 Feb, 2012

 

Thank you Popedot ... I enjoy making the blogs :o)))

6 Feb, 2012

 

Oh I enjoyed that, you can`t help it you just have to sing, I cannot read music but I instantly remembered the original song, lol.
Bless them they look so cute posing for you in the snow, Brynner is weird, he loved it yesterday but wasn`t really interested today, I love the way Conker and Truffle are all wrapped up cosy in their rugs after their time in the cold and Crocus looks very happy, he really is a gorgeous bright colour..
Smashing blog and pics Terra...

6 Feb, 2012

 

Brilliant blog TT and lovely photos:)

6 Feb, 2012

 

Thank you Sue ...
I heard you singing up there Lincolnshire ;o)
Strange with Brynner. Maybe the novelty of the snow wears off with dogs, just as it does with people !

We are all cosy here...Hoping you are too.. xxx

6 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks Debbie ..
It was fun making this blog. :o)))

6 Feb, 2012

 

TT your blog was faaaaaaaabulous I sang along too - good job it was late so no one could hear!
your lovely boys always raise a smile and have the awww factor, lovely to see them cosy and warm, so clever of you what stars you all are ***************

6 Feb, 2012

 

Brilliant!

7 Feb, 2012

 

Great blog and photo's liked them all, Conker and Truffle look lovely snuggled under their blanket's.No snow here in Newcastle just a heavy frost and very cold.

7 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Neena...
Thanks for all the stars ... Lol.

I appreciate your comment, Avis. Hope you're keeping warm and safe in this cold weather.

Hello Nariz... Thank you :o)

Thanks Mavis ...
Glad you like the blog. I hope the snow stays away from Newcastle. Keep cosy and snuggled ! :o))

7 Feb, 2012

 

Brilliant Terra. I don't know how you do it, very very creative. I'll be going to sleep with this tune running through my head lol.

Lol Lincs Brynna is the only one who wasn't fussed on the snow. Maisey (cat) kept looking hopefully out the window, but everytime we opened the door or window she just gave us a disgusted look and ran back in the house lol.

7 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Sam ... Glad you like it...
I hope you're able to sleep with that music in your head ;o)

7 Feb, 2012

 

I must have had my head in the clouds..or snow..! just seen this Terra..brilliant,as usual..great pics ,and I only just remember the song .! (telling porkies now) ..Can you hear me singing from Yorkshire ? ..Yes? ...oh,dear that's a shame .Lol.

8 Feb, 2012

 

Another brilliant and original blog TT - your photos are spectacular but I'll admit that what at first seems to be postcard material ends up being a pain - our recent experience in Rome of this freak weather and consequent chaos is to be forgotten asap! I have NEVER seen so much snow and ice in the whole 4 decades I've been living here!

Ah well at least singing helps! Take care all of you

8 Feb, 2012

 

Wow...
a duet of Bloomer and Terry60 .. !!!
Yorkshire and Italy ... voices combined.. ;o)

Excellent singing.. Thanks for your kind words.

The freeze in mainland Europe has certainly been worse than in the UK. Weather forecaster is talking of more snow tomorrow in many parts of GB...

Keep safe and warm ! :o) x

8 Feb, 2012

 

I heard that too Terra, I did get to the shops today....

8 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Pam... yes I walked to the Co-op...
... stocked up on essentials...
... lettuce, tomatoes, Cadburys... ;o)

8 Feb, 2012

 

maybe we could start a massed choir ... (Inter)National Choir of GoY!

8 Feb, 2012

 

I've had good old chuckle at your blog TT - It's Fab-u-lous and very well illustrated!!!

8 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Petal ...
Thanks for your lovely comments.
Glad you enjoyed a good chuckle ;o)

9 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Homebird.
Thank you ... Great singing from you, wafting across the snow from the Notts/Derbyshire direction ;o)

9 Feb, 2012

 

Lol. Can you see the pic above of the sparrows in the globe feeder with the "snow beret" ?
That globe is hanging from a similar bird feeder to yours...

9 Feb, 2012

 

Good luck with the new bird-feeding set-up :o)

9 Feb, 2012

 

Brilliant as always TT cheers

11 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Oldcrock. Thanks so much ..
glad you enjoyed my blog ... :o)))

11 Feb, 2012

 

I have just made my sides ache laughing, wonderful, and well presented x x

11 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks Patricia ... very kind comments.
Glad you like the blog :o) xxx

11 Feb, 2012

 

All around the country people are at their pcs singing along lol another great TT xx

11 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks Dotty..
I heard your dulcet tones from Hampshire ..
.. great singing ;o) xxx

11 Feb, 2012

 

Almost missed this blog, Tt ... I hope the snow thaws out for you soon ... we have been so lucky in not having any snowfall here ... but the frosts have been pretty harsh ... :o(

12 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Shirley.
I hope you're feeling more perky this week.
There's still a snow duvet over my gardens, but a thaw is forecast later today ... It has been VERY cold !

12 Feb, 2012

 

I am surprised at the very low temps. in your part of the country ... let's hope the snow acts as insulation over all your plants ... :o)))

12 Feb, 2012

 

Slight thaw today.. primroses reappearing, having been snug under their snow duvets ;o)

12 Feb, 2012

 

Ha ha TT it certainly wasn't me then........dulcet I aint!!

14 Feb, 2012

 

Lol. Dotty ...
but what you might lack in dulcet, you make up for in bucket-loads with enthusiasm ;o)

14 Feb, 2012

 

Hi TT, I'd missed this blog until I read one of your comments elsewhere where you mention your blog called "Let it Snow, Let it Snow" as the title was so similar to my last blog I just had to find out what it was all about, besides the obvious snow!

My blog title was also based on the title of the same song but sung by someone else, possibly Andy Williams, as I'd been listening to a whole list of Christmas songs on my computer over the Christmas period.

Your inspiration puts my poor blog to shame! I'd thought of doing it like you but once I got started I forgot everything else & ended up just giving a description of the photos I'd uploaded.

Congratulations on your clever combination of words & photos! Like many other GoYers I was singing along with you!

Fortunately during the last couple of days all the snow has melted away.

15 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Balcony ... Thanks ...

Yes, I wrote this blog, and then saw your blog with the same title a few days later ! I'm not surprised you missed this initially, because I had made the three quiz blogs and then wrote "Let It Snow", and "Winter Optimism" in quick succession !

I don't usually publish so many blogs so quickly !

You sang along very well to my photos and captions...
... I could hear you ;o)

Yes. Milder this week....
... but forecasters predict rather chilly again this coming weekend !
