We've been here 7 years now and I still get a thrill when I walk up the drive. I love living here - and we have enough projects for both inside and out to keep us going for many years to come! Good job I'm not planning on being anywhere else!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292808539041077623.post-55489881061096127372009-02-07T09:37:00.000+00:002009-02-07T09:37:00.000+00:00Looks like you're all having so much fun!

I presume this is normal, but some days it just hurts - she would have loved sharing the snow day with us! (although she did confess to a snowball fight at 3am in the uni carpark!!!)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292808539041077623.post-43611371967946858982009-02-05T03:23:00.000+00:002009-02-05T03:23:00.000+00:00What a wonderful day you had!!

The snow fields have been somewhat decimated by maurading teenagers - but I wouldn't have it any other way!<BR/>Irena - I obviously need to do some serious work on graceful, light and elegant - in everything, not just snow angels!!!!<BR/>Frances - yesterday was such fun! I hope I'll still be enjoying snow when I'm old ( and still living here!)<BR/>Catherine - my inner child is never very far from the surface, but she was out with full abandon yesterday.

I still love them! With stil about an inch on the ground from the last storm, we are getting about three more inches today. Here's some snow fun - find a big pile pushed up by your gritter lorries (we call them snow plows) stuff a pair of old pants with newspaper, up end the pants in the big pile of snow and put old boots on the legs. It looks like someone upsided by the plow! Sure to make the kids laugh! I'm going out to make snow angels now!!!!Shirley Landis VanScoykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100591522703458586noreply@blogger.com
