OK, so this has nothing to do with my post, but I've noticed some activity on my blog. I haven't publicized it or told anyone (scratch that- I've told three people. Three people who don't blog) it exists, but clearly people are finding me because the number of page views keeps increasing. So I just wanted to say that I have no problem with people signing up as followers. None at all. Really. If you're reading, I'd love to know who you are. Please. Pretty please?
Anyhow, Santa bestowed a belated Christmas gift on the northeastern U.S. this year: a big ol' blizzard. It started so innocently. For the first few hours, it was nothing more than a sprinkle of angelic-looking snowflakes. Here is my yard around 12:30 in the afternoon when it started:
Nothing impressive, right? I didn't even bother to hope work might be cancelled on Monday. Especially when hours later, my yard had only gone from the above to this:
Then, all of a sudden, the wind started howling like a wolf at the moon. My house was literally shaking. All I could see when I looked outside was white, until it was too dark to see anymore. When I woke up the next morning, this was the sight that greeted me from my bedroom window:
Note the shrubs and stone wall have completely disappeared. They're hidden beneath snowdrifts, much like the one that was waiting for us outside the front door:
And just in case you didn't believe me about the wind... Here you go. Such a beautiful sight. Especially when it DID get me out of going to work : )
Does anyone else love the snow as much as I do? : )
