SNOW DAY!!! February 10, 2010

Hey there folks,

Here I am, still in my pajamas while the world outside my windows - all five of them - is just a blizzard of white!  I don't remember snow like this since my first winter in New York in 1966!  Let me see if I can attach a picture or two I took from my windows, earlier today, though now, at 2 PM, its snowing even harder and the wind is picking up. 

The picture above was taken from my kitchen window of my back yard.  The screen is still down outside of the window pane hence the criss-cross lines, but that tree that is bent down from the weight of the snow is a lovely "butterfly tree" (I call it that because all during warm weather butterflies gather to it, especially Monarch butterflies) which is so lovely during the spring and summer.  This was taken at 8 this morning but now at 2 pm half of it is practically on the ground and the other half is hanging over my neighbor's fence.  Hope nature does its thing and it comes back to its glory in spring.  It has beautiful violet flowers when it blooms.

I took more pictures of my front yard facing the street but since the windows face north,there are droplets of water of melted snow flakes and everything is a blur of white.  Wonder of wonders, the mailperson who fails to deliver mail on nice days, actually delivered mail in a blizzard.  Go figure but, goodie for me, I got two Netflix DVDs that I can watch.

I know, this is all pretty boring but for my friends in warm climes, this is a little taste of life in the Gran Manzana.  I hope my friend Cora Arando Frattali, who is supposed to fly to Nevada made it out of here today.

Nothing much else going on but now that I can download pictures, I will see if I can download some more later on.

Happy snow day everyone!
