throwing snow

Again with the snow. It started up this morning, and the trees are so heavy with it that they are throwing giant blobs down to the ground. Occasionally also crashing into the roof. We've decided to take cover for now and maybe will venture out later when it calms down again. Even though our Christmas plans have changed, we have a big pot of chili to tide us over until we can go visit family this weekend.



I knew it was going to be an unusual year when the Christmas cactus started to bloom. We've had the plant at least 6 years (Nick thinks its been 10, procured before my time) and it has never bloomed. But a few weeks ago the buds started erupting from the succulent leaves.

Hope your year is full of pleasant surprises and happy times.
