Advice is like snow;
the softer it falls,
the longer it dwells upon,
and the deeper it sinks into the mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Do not let any unwholesome talk
come out of your mouths,
but only what
is helpful for
building others up
according to their needs,
that it may
benefit those who listen.
Ephesians 4:29

Beautiful photo and verse.
I love the first quote. And also how artistically the snow has gently fallen on the birdhouse
It's funny how they call it a 'blanket of snow'!

Wow, I hope those little birds stay warm.
Thank goodness we finally had sunshine to go with our snow today. I thought of you tonight as MSU played Minnesota. = )
Made me smile. Chuckling is a good thing, doncha think??
Ooh that's a beautiful scene - where are the poor little birdies?
I love Coleridge and also quotes from the Bible - thank you Susan.

It's a pretty picture Susan, when the sun is shining snow looks so lovely.
Nice verse and quote.
There is so much good advice in the Bible which I don't seem to heed as well as I should.
What a delightful image to go with your thoughts today.
Where you find these amazing quotes that fit so perfectly I don't know! Love this!
if only we could all follow that verse, thing of the changes it would bring. that photo is cool, i like the shadows as much as the covering of snow.
a clean blanket of untouched snow reminds me of the words you provided. words we should all live by!!
gorgeous!!
Such a beautiful photograph, Susan, and I love the first quote.
Happy day to you!
No truer words have ever been spoken!
Oh if only we all took these words to heart what a better place this world would be....Beautiful snowy shot.....
That snow is very deep! The drifts make interesting shadows. I hope the birds have somewhere else to perch. The quotes are, as always, thought-provoking.
Lovely photo! The verse particularly is a good reminder. Thanks!
It's taken me so many years to learn to practice this kind of softness. I'm still working on it.
A wonderful quote, and lovely photo. I'm trying to find beauty in the winter snowscapes where I live, but it's getting hard to do!
Softly the loud peal dies,
In passing winds it drowns,
But breathes, like perfect joys,
Tender tones.
Frederick Tennyson
The Coleridge leaves much food for thought. :o) Sweet image today, Susan... Happy Weekend ((HUGS))
Sweet drifts where you are :)
Did you hear the awwwww that came out of my mouth when the kitty header photo appeared? You've outdone yourself with this photo.
I've never understood why some people say mean things to others or give unsolicited advice. It's so easy to be kind and makes a difference in so many lives.
love that blanket of snow and the first quote.
Excellent quotes for your photo.
Such a wonderful quote for this photo. I love it.
Hugs~
