Third sNOw

 Three snows so far this week.  Usually the third snow is the one that stays....sad to say. 

It snowed gently most of the day. 

The snow is hanging in the trees. 

There was no wind to blow this new snow around.  We got maybe two inches of new snow.  There is six inches at the snow stick...snow # two packed down quite a bit as it had lots of moisture in it.

I worked on Christmas Cards and took some summer clothing upstairs..I cleared off a whole bunch of stuff from the top of the stairs...odds and ends tend to accumulate there and it was finally time to put a few things away.  I am making progress on my Christmas Crochet projects.

I did not shovel yesterday...probably today.

The Mayor and a little snow

Our daughter Jennifer won the election with 56% of the vote.

She is the new Mayor!

I am certain she will do an excellent job, she has been a councilwoman for a number of years so she knows her way around her little town.  We are very happy for her and very proud!

We have been gone on an adventure. (more on that in the coming days) We returned late Tuesday.  We came home a little early because snow was forecast.

We are happy to be home!  Chance is too although he is a wonderful traveller.  He gets a bit bossy sometimes…he wants to play ball in the motel room at night and will bark at you so of course we play ball with him so he won’t bark.  Our last night in a motel he quickly claimed a bed by laying right across the pillows all stretched out.

We unpacked and I am doing a mountain of laundry.  We headed to the grocery store to fill the larders again…and spent some time returning phone calls, answering mail and turning our clocks back.  We voted absentee this year since we knew we would be gone on election day. 

This is our third snow.  I understand it snowed last week while we were gone.  I suppose this snow will stay…or more will follow shortly IF it melts.  The small ponds were frozen over this morning.
