Yes, winter is tough indeed! Where else can one find so much fun indoors?
(Note the 2 to the right craning necks to get in the picture)
Winter started very early this year, we had snow well before X-mas, and we can get snow, and frequently do, into April/May.
Many a Mother's Day with as-of-yet melted snow piles! HELP ME!!!!!!!!
(...and isn't that Marty & Bridget to the left?) I'm freakin'!!!!!!!!
Here's a snap of the Chocolate Fountain
that we set up for the auction last week.
YUM! The auction went as well as the weather allowed. First, it was a snow day for all of the schools snowing 6-9 inches of snow between 6am and about noon, then came the freezing rain till about 3pm, and then plain old downpouring rain the rest of the evening! Very few attendees because of this, but thank goodness for the email and telephone bids...we made almost a thousand bucks!
Chocolate was enjoyed by all!
Last night my daughter received her yellow belt in Kempo. That is her in the first photo waving. She and her friend there had invited their 4thgrade teacher to attend the ceremony and both were surprised and pleased that she actually showed (now how pleased she'll be with this photo of herself with her eyes closed is another topic!). In the second photo, my girl is the first on the left (with pony tail, -next to the bald Sensei-he actually has hair, but shaves his head. {And a quick aside here, for those of you that remember my YURT days, he was an apprentice with Mike and lived on the land when we did, although he lived in the Octagon never having a yurt of his own. Poor Sensei!}. His 2 girls are on the right. A wonderful performance, and the whole group moved up into Yellow Belt status, and now my daughter can kick your ____! Watch out, and consider yourself warned!
So, I walk into the kitchen to find the dog and the boy both looking down the basement steps...and they're talking, see...and the boy says to the dog, "Gus, what's down there? What do you see?".
And Gus says, "Mike. And by the way, will you get off my foot?".
Nothing unusual here. Just another winter day in Northern New England! (RUFF!)
