The snow storm came as predicted. It came down light and fluffy, heavy and wet, and in big snowy chunks.

We received eight inches of snow from Monday’s storm and are expecting more snow tomorrow. I guess our ski season will continue for a little longer. There was a bit of a sunrise visible this morning before cloudy skies consumed the sun’s rays.

The second set of flowers are now opening on my amaryllis. The first stalk had four flowers. The second has three. This poor amaryllis plant has been photographed way too much. To give the pictures a twist, I added a touch of Photoshop magic.


We had some visitors to our backyard recently. A couple of neighborhood deer stopped by to add to the destruction of our shrubs.

After I knocked on the glass of our dining room window, she turned to look at me. I guess the snow fell from the higher branches and landed right on her face. Poor thing (insert sarcasm here).


My recent purchase. Isn’t it beautiful? We christened it by making a batch of banana muffins. The were delicious.

Here is the new and improved sledding course. A whole new design for 2013. Sebastian has been working on it the past few evenings after our big snowstorm on Sunday (his Dad helped too). The extra nine inches of snow allowed him to bank up the sides and create a nice curve at the bottom.
