Our white Christmas tu
rned into a VERY white Christmas. This morning I measured 5½ inches of snow laying on top of our porch sides. That makes it the largest snow fall we can remember… and it’s still snowing!
Yes, I know… this is nothing at all to those of you with 12” or more on the ground already. But if you think THAT is lame… read on!
The trees are loaded down too, making a gorgeous winter wonderland of our yard, or at least it was until a bit of a wind kicked up. Then I experienced one of the most entertaining things I’ve seen in a while.
I’m sitting on the sofa watching out the window when a gust would wiggle the upper branches of a tree, dislodging some snow. This would fall down onto branches below, dislodging more snow, which fell and dislodged even more, suddenly this tree would go into a “white out” condition with the snow flying all around and I could hear a “fwoop-woomp-woomp” sound as the whole batch smashed into the ground.
It was wonderful! Ah the joys of simple living! Or maybe I should say life as a simpleton! Laugh if you want, but I’m having a great time!
