First Big Snow

We were supposed to go to Ct. to have a holiday fiesta with all of Em's family, but then the travel advisory said that travel was at best not advisable and at worst impossible so we decided to stay home, buy groceries and hunker down... This first shot is us heading out to the market on Friday afternoon as the snow is just starting to come down. The lil guy is quite excited as you can see. I felt celebratory, but passed on the oysters & opted for Maine shrimp, artichokes, a turkey breast & all the trimmings and staples like eggs and milk and baking supplies.



By Saturday morning there was a good coating of snow on everything.... the ground, the cars the trees, the playground toys... - everything.


Mabel still has to go out though so we couldn't completly hide from the snow drifts - You can see that the snow is about up to her shoulders & those of you who know us know that she is a TALL dog ---



Em went out every few hours and did a little more shoveling and sweeping of our stairs and front walk and around her car so that it wouldn't be totally socked in when the storm was done.

She actually looks happy doesn't she?
