Winter Weekend

We got about 6 inches of snow during the day Friday and when Pat and I got home from work an unknown nice neighbor had cleared our driveway for us.  There was still snow on the ground from the previous snow storm, so it's quite the winter wonderland outside.  I spent yesterday morning working on some more thank you notes while Pat retouched the nursery base boards. They had been discolored by the hardwood floor guys...I'll try and post a picture of the floors in the next day or so, they look great.  After some yummy chicken salad sandwiches, we headed out for a nice walk and I brought my camera.

 A little stream along the way.

At the bottom of the hill is where we catch the train each morning.  Evidently it's quite the popular sledding spot!

We got home from our walk and Winnie was sitting in the living room, practically begging us to start a fire.  Yes, we happily obliged.

Kind of looks like she is plotting an evil plan right now, right?

We had a great Saturday evening of burgers and roasted asparagus (seemed healthier than burger and fries) and football.  How 'bout them JETS?!?!

Today we're taking down the Christmas tree and putting away holiday decorations.  Lots to do, lots to do.

Snow Day!

Many New York schools and offices are closed today, including mine.  Woohoo!  Here are a few shots of the neighborhood.

Pat had a short work day and I walked to meet him near the train station.

We spent a little time shovelling party of the driveway.  I think that's my first  time ever doing that - exhausting!  Looks to be about 10 inches of snow.

Time for one of my favorite snacks:

:-D

Snow!

This post is a bit late and you all already know about the snow that hit the northeast. (and further south too - my parents were stuck in North Carolina)  It came in Saturday afternoon when Pat and I were making some awesome chili.  It was our first time making it - we went with three bean beef chili.  That will definitely be made again since it turned out great.  Anyhow, I guess we ended up with around 6 inches of snow.  I was lucky because I didn't have to leave the house on Sunday, so the below photos are taken from the cozy indoors.

And Kate and Paul decorated the tree on Saturday:

And here are some pictures out in the snow late Saturday night (another post about Saturday night to come)...
