snow slide

make lemonade!

looking like x-mas

yesterday was the first snow fall of the year...about an inch of it stuck: hope it melts soon.

heated bird bath

thankfully we have had temperatures above freezing and the 45" of snow we have has started to recede. my heated bird bath provided water for the squirrels, but none of the local birds have come by. spring cant come soon enough.

blizzard 2010 is finally over

we actually got thirty inches here in kensington because we sit up on one of the highest points in the dc area...ridiculous! we shoveled snow for hours to make paths so the dog could get out for a pee (at least!). our neighborhood was fortunate not lose power like so many others around us. for the first time ever our street got plowed because the contract plow-guy for the condos near us had to drive past our house to get to 7-11 for a cup of coffee: sweet! 

extra help for the holidays at the post office

i had to ship several over-sees orders from herban elements and high contrast today: the line was out the door at the post office. mothers let children run wild: round and round, repeatedly punching the life-size cut out of a postal worker, while the dutiful clerks at the united states postal service worked over time...not.

winter wonderland?

winter wonderland or icy hell hole?

you decide...
