A Bundle of Myrrh

>More Snow.

We got more snow this week! Lots of it. Good for angels, not for snowmen or igloos just yet, but we’re trying. Phil’s working on an igloo, so far all we have is Mt. Hale. We need a wetter snow apparently. At least the natives are finally starting to say it’s cold. It’s 10 degrees with a wind chill of -5 today. Cold.



Our driveway layered with snow and ice. Yuk.


This is when the big boys come out to shovel.

It’s fun for about 3 minutes.

Our first Christmas tree came out of ditch. Phil cut it down while no one was looking, then we ran for it. It’s a little sparse and brown in some places, but we’re both real proud of it. Prouder still of the stand he engineered for it, but unfortunately for all of you this is hidden under it’s skirt. Sorry. It is something to see though.

This was Phil’s idea of helping me decorate our tree. You don’t know it but he’s listening to a nerdy financial talk radio program he can’t get enough of. Not very festive, but I made it all look so fun he eventually joined in.

Me, making it look fun.

Phil joining in.

We had a nasty ice storm come through Bancroft yesterday. Phil and I stayed in and peeked outside every once in a while to see what frozen water does to things. Also, I drank hot chocolate and ate too many cookies.

Today the sun broke through to reveal a dazzling winter wonderland.

“O glorious Sun, now come,
Send forth Thy beams so cheering,
An guide us safely home.”

This is my new goose down coat. I feel like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in it, but when it’s 10 degrees who cares? He was one warm guy.
