Everything's all White

We still have snow on the ground. We have about 1" of ice underneath so I expect we will have it around for awhile. It looks so pretty on the trees, doesn't it? We are keeping warm and cozy with throws, sweaters and slippers. Tomorrow we will decorate our tree and Alex and I may do some baking. Chris's (our soon to be 25 yr. old son) birthday is this coming weekend and we are going to  slip a homemade cake into a round cookie tin and send him some frosting and a few candles, as he lives in NC. That way he can celebrate it with his roommates. Have to send it out Monday as the post office said Weds. is the last day to ship to make it on time for Christmas.

Day 2 of the snow Oct 16th

This first picture is yesterday am. See the pretty fall foliage and that darn snow coming down.

Picture 1 Yesterday am.
Picture 2 My lilac shrubs when I got home from work at 4
Picture 3 The car when I woke up
Picture 4 The street today at lunchtime. Look at the poor drooping trees. ALl that weight on the leaves has caused so many to creak off. I have two on y roof as we speak and about 10,000 are without power here because of trees dropping on the power lines. I have power, thankfully. When the snow drops from the trees on the rooftop it sounds like people are running and jumping on it.
