Giant Icicles

SNV13737

I like not having gutters as they clog easy and route water away from the plants in the front garden. One side effect of taking them off: icicles.

Final Tally

SNV13733

It never came down fast, but it did come down pretty much constantly from Saturday (Christmas) morning until Monday around noon, leaving us with about 8½” by the time it was through: a couple inches of heavy, wet stuff covered by half a foot of fine, dry powder.

Giant Snowman

SNV13731

Overachievers.

Snow-Covered Lane, Boxing Day

SNV13730

On Boxing Day, Fred, Arthur, and I ventured out on a walk around the neighborhood. This is across the street from our house.

Cam at the Christmas Dinner Table

SNV13725

Why does he look like a teenager to me in this photo? Perhaps it’s the grunge-reminiscent plaid shirt, or the seemingly alternative hairstyle caused by the paper hat, or the faraway angst-ridden look in his eyes. Mostly, though, I think it’s from having seen him with Cam and Elena and Libby — he’ll always be the oldest cousin on both sides, the eldest of his generation.
