Jack Frost

Today we are having an “event” that only happens about every 10 years or so where I live. Therefore, when it occurs, we are enthralled and tend to run around and play like small children. I am talking about SNOW and all the fun things that go with it. Forget about icy roads, freezing hands and missed appointments. We are enjoying the beauty that is Mother Nature today and it is incredible!!

Most people who read this blog are aware that I live in the greater Los Angeles area so when I say this is rare, I do mean rare. Check out the pictures……

My dogs have never seen snow so when they went out this morning to do their business, they seemed fascinated, curious and a little nervous. “What is this white stuff Mom?” They rushed back inside with snowy backs and the young one was shivering. They are truly snow novices and cold weather wimps, as are we all in this part of the world.

People around here don’t know how to drive when it rains. For snow? They are hopeless. Hopefully, they will stay home today and not get out on those icy roads. I’ve already cancelled today’s appointments and will spend the day wrapping Christmas presents and doing some baking.

As I write, it is snowing VERY hard and the weatherman said we can expect 6-8 inches as our present from Alaska. That is the weatherman on last night’s news said to expect 6-8 inches. The news this morning? Not happening. The satellite dish is covered with snow and in shock apparently. We have no reception.

Well, that’s it for this time. I’m going outside to build a snowman!!
