Finding our own oasis - Shangri-La





I don't know what to say.... I LOVE... ADORE.... the snow. It is really, really, REALLY COLD here... It's so cold, even our fire pit is outta commission....but I still absolutely adore the beauty of winter. I can't explain it... but I love that Christmas really feels like Christmas. I went to a kids holiday pagent the other day, and the kids were adorable. Goofy stage antics, pigtails, plaid dresses and skirts. I don't think any one child was in any sort of "designer" clothing.... they reminded me of the when I was in my school pagent.

It snowed the last few days so inevitiably I had to take the Trailblazer into the cul-de-sac and do DONUTS.... it was a gas! I went for a drive and took some pix, grained the ponies, basically, enjoyed the view. When you sit back, take a deep breath of fresh, cold, clean South Dakota air, you basically take it in and think.... "Shit, it is REALLY COLD here!"

Anyway.... we're bundled up in down..... enjoying the heat of our jacuzzi... and thanking our glorious, visible, winter stars above.....

What lovely photos -- just looking at them I feel cold. I agree with you and although we are not in the great white north at this moment, I find myself waxing nostalgic. I am imagining how my town looks all gussied up for Christmas and covered with snow. It is very old-timey somehow and very comforting. Yeah, some folks have the wrong idea of just how great it is to have real weather.

Okay, anyway, what-evvveerrr. We have the connector-thingy and so today we are attached to the laptop. Glad you updated your blog as I do enjoy it and so does T. even though he never comments -- blog commenter virgen??

Love you all. xo
