its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together

...if only we had a sleigh! 


Christmas was lovely and I hope that you all enjoyed a very merry gathering with loved ones as well. 


The snow began late last night, technically giving us a "White Christmas"...but not really because the festivities were pretty much over except for the fat lady singing before the flurries truly began. This morning though, well this morning is a completely different story. We have 4 to 6 inches out there & the news is telling us we're snowed in! 


I'm sure our neighbors to the north, in true snow country, are probably having a nice little chuckle at our expense. Remember the movie Crocodile Dundee where a hoodlum tries to mug Mick (Paul Hogan) with a switch blade? And then Mick's all "that's not a knife...THAT'S A KNIFE!" and he pulls out a bowie knife?

Well that's the tone I imagine the northerners are using..."that's not snow....THAT'S SNOW!"

Oh well, we may not be waist deep but it's still snow! And snowfairies willing, there will be no work tomorrow. 

We're headed out to play in a bit, gonna wander out on the beach and maybe build a snowman where there are usually only sandcastles. Unfortunately pics will have to be taken with my Blackberry though....the camera cord has performed yet another disappearing act. Typical in a house with teenagers. SIGH!
