After a quiet Christmas, we spent a quiet New Year's Eve with Janette. She came over in the afternoon of the 31st and spent some time with her favorite dogphew, who was cold and searching for a warm lap.
After a few adjustments, he was "snug as a bug in a rug," as the old saying goes.After Janette went home, we had chips and dip for supper and went to bed at about 8:30. Whoo-hoo! We really know how to live life in the fast lane! It started to snow that evening, and by New Year's Day we had at least 4 inches of fresh white snow on the ground, covering all the ugly half-frozen stuff that had been on the ground and making everything look pretty and clean.
As the day progressed, though, the north wind started blowing harder and things started getting downright wintry around here! It's still blowing, with a wind chill of 15 below zero, I hear. I have lots of snow moving to do, using the new snow blower Mom got last fall, but since we don't have anywhere pressing to go, I'll wait until the wind dies down and tackle it tomorrow. One of the few perks of being unemployed...
Happy New Year to everyone! I hope 2012 is a better year all around!
