Great pics, Buddha seems quite at home in the snow. We had flurries here on Tuesday, not that I saw them. But it gives me hope that we might actually have a snow day this year (yup, I live for snow days). :)

LOL - I'd want to rub his tummy every time I walked past. Great photos, Julia. :)

Nicholas - my mom got him at Winners.

M. - my NaNovel is in serious trouble! I had the flu for three weeks and didn't get a lot of writing done. But in my true spirit of demented stubbornness, I'm still trying to get to the finish line.

Fickleminded - I didn't read the bottom of the Buddha. Don't know where he was made. I'll try to find out.

Shelley - when my mom opens the curtains to the back deck, he's always smiling in at us. We love him!

Very nice nice to see the trees in back ground in the change of seasons also!

Travis Cody said...

Snow covered Buddha looks very jolly.

Wylie Kinson said...

This may be sacriledge... but I'm thinking that your jolly snowy buddha needs a santa hat :D

Julia Phillips Smith said...

*GRIN*! I love the snow-covered Buddha. He looks like he likes snow as much as I do!

We got a good snow here last night, too. :)
