I watched Spirited and Elf in a 24 hour period. I loved them both. I only know Ryan Reynolds from Wrexham and I’ve never been a Ferrell fan. Now I’m wondering why. 🎥
A regular heat wave, with a high of 3 degrees today. It will soon be time to get to work on the Christmas Eve “meat fest”. Sausage, meatballs, and ribs!
The kids all got on the road early this morning to beat the winds – One set just arrived and the other still on the way. Its crazy to watch the snow cascading in large chunks from the treetops. I will breath a sigh of relief when we are all here together. 🎄
Post World Cup Walk. I don’t know when the wind is going to come up and destroy all of this beauty. but I’m going to enjoy it while I can.
A Snowy Morning Walk
We arrived at our own private winter wonderland about 5:00 last night. The lane to our cabin greeted us with a wonderful site.
The driveway, on the other hand, was not beautiful but a job waiting to be done. I knew it was going to be bad because I had called to get the septic holding tank pumped out, and the driver called me back and asked when we were going to have the driveway plowed so he could get in.
We got the snowblower going and cleared the drive only to get another four inches of snow overnight. It is truly beautiful around here and I was very thankful that the wind did not come up overnight and blow all the snow off the pine branches.
So, this morning after doing my PT exercises for my knee, I put on my boots and headed out the door with my phone to capture some of this.
Here are some of my favorites. I like this one for the bends in the trees. The snow is sure adding a lot of weight, but luckily I have not noticed any broken branches.
I always like to play with the macro feature of the iPhone. This one really captured the crystals of the snow.
And finally one of our favorite places to hang out with the kids when there are with us. The fire pit! I would love to have a fire going in there right now if only to add a spash of color.
And finally here is one of the heavily laden pins on the lake side of the house. I love that tree on the left. the landscaper wanted to pull it out 22 years ago, but I said no. Lets let it grow.
After my walk we did another round of shoveling and snow blowing. It looks like a guaranteed white Christmas this year, and I’m looking forward to Kaia, Tanner, Josh, Rachel, Johannes and Maren joining us soon for Christmas.
I love the change of seasons! I took this last fall when the light was beautiful.
I took this an hour ago. Fresh snow, still coming down.
After three days of snow it was great to see the sun for a few minutes! Everything looks so clean and white.
Trying out the Warp terminal app today. I love it so far. I’m starting to think there is something to all of these amazing Rust apps.
A snowy december night in Minneapolis. Dinner at home then a two block walk to the Guthrie Theater to see a Christmas Carol. What could be better for getting into the holiday spirit?
Just let me talk to a human!
I have a simple question - can I go to an apple store and get a battery replaced in my wife’s 2017 macbook pro while I wait?
Apple Chat:What OS are you running? Here are some links. Phone my local apple store: Let me connect you to apple support…
I love having a grandson that is just old enough to play hot wheels. Bought this giant pile of track used online. I thought I should do some QA before he arrives! 😄🏁🏎️
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care…
And leaning against the chimney is the Ho-Ho-Hoe, every home should have one. Time to get a fire started.
