Yup, It's Winter

It looks like it will be a white Christmas. The snow just keeps coming. Uncle Stephen, Millie (yes, she and Emily have the snow-shoveling gene), and I have a running battle with the snow-plow guy. We clear the street in front of our houses and he plows it back. We throw it back in the street and he comes by again. He actually came by three times within about a half an hour. Of all the nerve!

Well at least it will be beautiful for Christmas and Finn and Harry can enjoy playing in the snow.

The piles are growing

With Millie in the neighborhood, she and Holman Hunt join in

There's more snow on the way. Enjoy the beach Anna and crew!

It is so beautiful but I really am tired of scraping my windows. Only 3 more days!

Wow. It is so beautiful. I am loving the beach, but I don't mind a good Christmas snowstorm. Think of the snowshoeing! I am glad Maren and Gaving got there before the bad storm.
I have that gene too. LOVE shoveling snow.

How pretty, but it does sound like a lot of work. I guess there is something good a wimpy snow that melts away with the morning sun.

Whew! Two nice posts. Thanks for the lovely pictures of the snow at your homes and on the hills.

I have no love of shoveling snow though. Ever. At all. Maybe that's a Bird manifestation.
