| Be-snowed |

Having spent a week in New York hiding out from the ice storm and power outtages (once again, HUGE thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) regyt and novalis for taking us in!), it was time to head home.
After two days on the road (snow storm got us on the way out of NYC, so that it took 5 hours to drive 45 miles), we got back to the island just in time for chang3002's excellent birthday party Saturday night.
All through Sunday, the snow fell and the wind howled, turning to thunder snow during the night. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have electricity and heat at the house, to be able to watch the snowstorm outside while cuddled up comfortably.
The camera flash on the falling snow makes it look like midsummer night's fairy motes.
This is main street, looking towards the water and the ferry, at about 2:00 pm in the afternoon as I walked to the store. (Store was closed for a christmas party, sigh. Uphill, through the snow, and no antelope to bring home).
The morning after. The dogs approve, once again. I'm grinning just thinking about having to dig out the mountain of snow that the plows have piled at our front gate.
Oh, we finally got a chance to put up the Xmas tree last night! Mooohoohaahaa, I love it. |

*beams!* It's all so gorgeous!!! You guys have done an amazing job with that house.
I deeply, deeply love this house. It feels nourishing. If it was a bit better insulated, it would be perfect. (I think we should get some of those window insulation kits that I saw at regyt's house.
Have you ever done the thing with plastic, two-sided tape, windows and a blowdryer? It works AMAZINGLY well.
yea, that's the thing I want to try
There is a shoe in your tree! =O
Of course! All proper and fairy-tale like :)
"Grimm-dor! The Snowinator!"
Sorry, that's all I got. It's been that kind of day.
The snow is high enough in places now that I'm worried she'll jump over the fence! :)
I kind of like shoveling snow. (I think it's because I get the workout endorphins, and then I get praised and cosseted and made hot drinks for afterwards. My live-in boy and I have a deal that snow shoveling is my department, and tea-making and praising is his. [grin])
That is a fantastic arrangement. :) | |
