Bring on the Snow!!!!

As you may or may not have heard, England is suffering from one of the biggest snow falls in 4 years.

Well, most of England is.

Knowing that chance favors the prepared mind and that mine is nice and new (I keep it in a box so I don't use it un-necessarily) I set up Jill's nifty little Canon S3 on a tripod in hopes of recording a series of images showing our yard filling with with a glorious gift from the clouds.

And yes, the titles are on the correct images.

The top photo was at 9:30am. The bottom one at just before 11 as I returned from my accountant's office.

The kids got out of school early.

They had a 2-hour delay today.

They got sent home just after being picked up.

There is LESS snow in my yard now.

I love the Brits but they don't know JACK about snow.


Cheers.

Oh, great joy of joys...

School is back in session! After 2 weeks off involving lots of rampant slothfulness (not me, them) the children are finally back and matriculating feverishly. At least that's what I tell myself. I'm sure they're rolling their eyes at the thought of engaging their little synapses again.

Good news is that it means I can get back to work! There's a nice little bit of sun streaming through the doors leading to the backyard and a 4-ship of F-15s from RAF Lakenheath just did a nice lazy fly-over. Ravens and pheasant are gleaning the winter wheat field behind us and songbirds and belting out their cheery tunes. All seems right with the world again...
