Christmas is over for this year

Another year almost past and on we go down the river of life. This morning Karen and Krista had to go shopping for those all so special after Christmas sales so it's quiet around Karen's house at the present time. Yesterday we had a house full with her grand kids and their respective ladies and Debbe and Eric came by in the evening.

It's a balmy 5° outside and the snow is as bone dry as it can be. It's interesting how the snow gets so powdery when it's so cold... well at least I find it interesting. Driving over here this morning the roads around town are still snow covered in most places and I suspect that will be the case for a long time to come if it doesn't warm up. That's ok, it's to be expected around here so you just deal with it. At least the sun looks like it might make an appearance and I can see a little blue sky out there but the sun doesn't have much heat in it this time of year. One good thing though, the days are starting to get longer again since we passed the winter solstice. Ya gotta love that, don't you?
