SNOW!

And a video blog to accompany the snow we got last night - or there would be - but I've been trying to upload it for literally an hour and no luck - so there will be no video today. But it was really boring anyway - I talked about my layers - 3 on top, 2 on bottom - needed to keep warm when it's 14 degrees outside. I also talked about the fact that Beppo (who weighs 71 pounds) trampled me while I tried to make a snow angel. That was about it.


This is the snow prior to plowing - official measurement as of 10:00 this morning was 7".


And here is the wall of snow that I created after shoveling the snow.



Beppo loves the snow - I've been training her to stay with me, even if she doesn't have to. So she has a long cord on and right here she's tethered to the swing, but soon we untethered her and went for a jog on the new snow. I think her favorite thing is to be able to put her paw-prints in the snow first!




This is my failed attempt at making a snow angel. Beppo was jumping up and down and all around me the second I laid down. So this is what a dead snow angel looks like.


Anyway - today is a good day for chili and cornbread so that's what will be in my slow-cooker all day today - you are all invited to partake with me if you can get here by 6!

Now on to a completely different subject. I recently watched Rent and was completely unimpressed and wondered if I have been so spoiled by Grease that I would never like another musical. And Mary Poppins. And The Sound of Music. And Hair! But this morning I've been watching Across the Universe which is a musical made completely of Beatles songs - and I'm delighted. I'm biased, but it's great. :)
