It was just a matter of time, before the snow came. When we got up at the
crack of dawn, there was only about an inch or so on the ground. By the time we got done with coffee, there was five inches on the ground and by the time we came back from lunch, there was twelve inches on the ground. This was a
cardiologist dream come true, it was wet and heavy. The area of town the we live in, looks like a tornado had come through. Tree's are down everywhere, getting home from lunch, three of the four roads, coming to our home where blocked by down tree's. The one open road, if you can call it that, is in the photo below.
With all the tree's down, most of the area is without power and going on 48 hours with out power. We are lucky this time, but there is a tree hanging in the wires, in the back yard. Winter had to start sometime.
Does this help to get you in the Spirit of the holidays? The bubbling rock in the front yard is almost frozen over, the Blue Door has a dusting of snow and our Christmas Tree is up. Every family has a tradition, when it comes to decorating the Christmas Tree. For us, the first ornament that is placed on the tree, is a hand made ornament that was given to me as a child, from my brother, Tom's Aunt Agnes. It is the first to go on and the last to come off. Then, Kim puts the tree topper on. This year, we have decided to decorate the house in white. As Kim puts it, it is a white Christmas, at our house. I am sure, that Bing Crosby will be playing soon. Next week, I will show more photo's of the house.
