Merry Christmas

 

Christmas finally arrived...

 

 

Many Yummy things were eaten

 

 

Some of which are now almost gone...oops

 

 

The tree lights fought back but were still sparkling

 

 

And we had fresh snow...

 

 

and New sleds for Christmas

 

 

And we were watched over by our New Nutcracker Bear

who is loved (and for $4 dollars in a sale ..worth far more to us than we paid for him :0)  )

 

We have been having a lovely Christmas ...I hope you are too!

Merry Christmas 

Even Moose play

A video posted on facebook by a person from the Valley here..hope it plays

It's snowing

quite heavily in fact....rather wet snow and quite sticky and deep. Fingers crossed we don't get the several hours of freezing rain that's due this afternoon...gulp swallow.

So it's hug the stove and dive into this novel (kindly found for me by the library...don't you just love libraries)

Out with the old.....

I'm a bit sore and a bit grumpy and after an earthquake this evening a 5.8 (epicenter twenty five miles away) I'm a bit disconcerted ...I'm not partial to them really and that one was a sway 'er so made for feeling nauseous.
After last years snow season (we had record amounts) this year we have a record lack there of...ho hum Just 2 or 3 inches of increasingly polished powder and loads of totally beautiful ice crystals building up on surfaces outside. It is a cruel cold season so far though ..our highest temperature this season has beaten our lowest temperature for this time last year and I feel for the small birds that feed in constant rotation on the fat and seed feeder by the front door.How they survive this cold I do not know.

I'm sore and grumpy after surgery on Friday..I finally decided to deal with an imbalance caused by bc ..it's no good being a half buxom lass.. it does nothing for your posture or balance  (well it did nothing for mine anyway) So I decided to go for not buxom at all...  I am now strapped up like a twenties flapper and am awaiting results. Hopefully it'll be worth the fuss as I'm not partial to anesthesia..it gives me such a hangover...yuk...but after viewing last Summers holiday snaps,  sad truths had to be faced up to. Next it's some dental attention  and then a lot of work in the gym to compensate for loss of muscle strength. I don't recommend BC followed by breaking a leg followed by dislocating a collar bone and tearing up shoulder tendons..it's terribly aging to say the least. So now if I'm not working on a new me I am at least trying to resuscitate the old one...and who knows with a bit of time (some chocolate) a new hair cut who knows.

For now I'm settling on a little chocolate and a good book and I can dream of being as stylish as Miss Brooks can't I !
