God Bless Us Every One!

It is becoming our Christmas tradition, thanks to the WoodMan who started this, to allow the boys to tear up the wrapping paper as we open our gifts. Better and cheaper than any dog toy... And once I clean up the mess, they calm down pretty quickly.

We wish everyone out there a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A long winter's nap

A high of only 21° today—I wish we could all take a nap in OUR bed today...

There was green grass showing yesterday >

And then today frigid temps and more snow...

Then 50° with rain on Friday, 38° with snow on Sunday. I think I see a pattern here.

I think it's a good bet that we will have a white Christmas, with winter green or without.

Snow and fog in Burlington

Fog always makes for pretty pictures, even if they are lacking in color.

I took a ride to Edmeston on Sunday to pick up my Christmas cards from the printer. I drive through the little town of Burlington to get there. Burlington, NY was named by William Cooper, Cooperstown founder, after the city of Burlington, NJ where he lived for before coming up here. Husband and I both grew up in Willingboro, minutes from Burlington, where Mr. Cooper owned land.

It's all connected somehow...
