Snow Shots

A nieghbors holiday cheer. It's good to see the neighborhood wrapped in snow.

Snow Fun

A 10 inch snowfall then a 3 inch coating a few days later has left a winter wonderland here in Alexandria. Sam and Lexi are loving it.

A Few Plowed Streets

Some of the streets were plowed by 5 tonight but now ours.

Winter Walk

Snow has been hard to come by the last few years but we finally got a good 9 or 10 inch dumping of the stuff. Our street still isn't plowed but we got out to find a ton of downed trees and limbs from the heavy, wet snow. Lots of people without power today but we were spared. The magnolia does get pretty heavy with this type of snow and a good size branch snapped off but it will be sunny and 37 tomorrow and should be free of snow later in the day.

New Year

A light at the end of Prince Street in old town on a foggy end of 2021.

Neighborhood Walk

Walked about 3.5 miles early Christmas Eve to see all the lights. Some streets were more festive than others but tons of cheer out there. This is Dylan sporting his Old Glory garb for a social media post I believe he posted.

Pickle Cousins

Some pickle ball and cider this afternoon.

Orono Hockey

Watching Mae bring the pain.

Canadien Embassy Tree

Canada the nicer neighbor to the north.

Nicole’s Morning Run

Early run downtown to see the holiday sites. The Capitol is much more peaceful without the MAGA insurrectionist's around.

Late Fall Skies

No snow but fall like weather most days.

Flying Pig Christmas

The decorations around use get interesting this time of year.

Abrahamic Saturday

A celebration of monotheistic religions based on the first prophet. I prefer Saturnalia but it's hard to find decorations for that at Target.

Tale of Two Holidays

We are celebrating 9 crazy nights of Hanukkah this year to include the boys and grandparents that are all leaving tomorrow. We got our winter solstice trees today as well.

Flyer Visit

We got flyer on Saturday and he gets picked up again on Saturday night or Sunday. He's a good dog.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving

Good to have everyone in the same house again.

Japanese Maple

Had a tree cut down and replaced by this Japanese maple about a year ago. It's not really growing that fast but it sure is pretty in the fall.

Cold Comfort

21-14 loss on a cold day in Des Moines. Dylan and I watched from the warmth of home.

Vote

Got to visit the boys grade school lunch room today. Unfortunately not enough Virginians are voting today which will may allow a minority to take the state backwards to the good ol' 1950's.
