Donna decided that it was time I had a reliable camera--one that works as soon as it's turned on, so she provided it for Christmas. Unfortunately, I had left it at the other house when we left in a hurry to beat the last snow storm. But I have it with me now, and it is certainly an improvement over the Sony. Fortunately it hasn't snowed again in the past few days, but I do like these pics of the back roads. This is day-old snow, but it's still clinging to the trees. 
Growing up in Queens, New York City, me, my bro, and the neighborhood kids always hoped for deep snow when snow was in the forecast for the "suburbs". We'd be asking..."are we in the suburbs?" But we weren't and with few exceptions, we got rain.
I do remember a few storms that provided enough snow to shovel into the tallest mounds we could make and then hollow it out into a "fort". I also practiced my engineering skills and built dams in the street--that was guaranteed to gain attention from the neighbors. And then there was the time when my brother almost hacked his foot off while chopping ice with an ax....
Anyway, not much has been happening. I should have had my new teeth by now, but appointments were postponed and it should finally happen next week. Donna broke the side off a tooth not to long ago, and the repair didn't hold, so she'll be having that taken care of tomorrow. I think she needs to start seeing my dentist instead of where she's going now. Her sprained ankle is progressing well, but she still needs to stay off it as much as possible. I guess I'll know it's better for sure when she starts doing dishes again (but she doesn't take advantage of her personal sexy male servant)!
So, the days are getting longer, and spring is on the way--33 days until the daily average temp starts back in the positive direction! In the meantime, maybe I can get the bathrooms painted between snow shoveling events.
Let me leave you with an image that you probably didn't see on the average Christmas blog...
