Snow Far, Snow Good!

This is our second substantial snow of the winter. Two weekends ago we had a few inches on a Saturday, but I got no pictures because the office was emptied for carpet installation and the Nikon was missing. It's still missing. I have no idea where it is. And I don't care. I bought that camera this summer and I hate it. The house fairy knew I hated it and hid it for me. So, I got a new Sony Cybershot 12.1 Megapixel this week. Ahhhhhh. So much better.

Here's what the backyard looked like at 7:30 am

And here's the front yard at the same time:

Note that it was clear when I took that picture. Its 10:30am now and it looks like a blizzard out there. Bob and Connor are outside and I'll get a pic for later. Its good practice for Canada, I guess. Sickeningly enough, Bob has to go to work. I'm watching the local news and cars are strewn all over the place, so I'm not too happy about it. And the four-wheel drive on the Montero is broken.

Went to Trader Joe's yesterday (I love that place) and got a fresh stalk of brussels sprouts for $3. Cut them up this morning. Look how fresh and green they are.

Made this recipe with them and they look delicious now that they're roasted.

And to wrap up this seasonally random post, its the last day of Hanukkah and I'd like to wish all my friends who are members of the tribe a happy holiday. I really hope it was 8 crazy nights of fun and celebration. Consistent with that, I share my offspring's craft and artwork below. This is what happens when a shiksa's kid makes a Star of David.
