- Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano
I think the morning after the snow is always fun for the kids, and a good thing that today is Saturday and most of us don’t have to work. It’s so bright and white outside that I decided to use a polarizing filter to cut down on the glare of the snow. My backyard is covered with snow, I think we got anywhere from 4-6 inches of snow this time.
The cabbage bed was covered with snow, a good thing that I harvested most of it yesterday and will be making Spring Rolls today.
Max loves being outside.
The neighborhood kids were outside having fun, Lee didn’t join in since we were on a mission to snowman hunt.
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! by Frank Sinatra
Our first official snow taken with a Canon PowerShot SD800 IS (first photo), I just hope that I could make it up the hill. I work in the back office, so I only get to see the snow when I walk to the window, but one of my co-workers would walk back to see me once in awhile to give me an update on the snow, and at one point she had both her hands moving back and forth frantically in front of her, that the snow was coming in both directions.
Updated 6:22 pm (18:22), the traffic was really bad coming home. I left work a bit early because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to climb up the hill. When I left, it looked like a ski slope, I’m at the bottom looking up, and the only way home is going uphill. My 4 wheel drive did very well, and there were several cars and pickup trucks stranded on the side of the road, but I didn’t have any problem even though the roads were getting icy.
The snow is still coming down hard, I think we might be getting more than 6 inches at the rate that it’s coming down.
Max loves the snow, he ate several snow balls today.
This is a Carolina Blue sky, with a little help from a polarizing filter of course.
My Ginkgo tree is turning yellow, the fan like leaf shapes are absolutely beautiful this time of the year.
Lee has her own sense of fashion style, you won’t find this outfit anywhere, I made part of it myself last year, not something that I’m proud of. It’s funny how she puts her outfit together, kind of amuse to watch her dressed sometimes. I asked her what she wants to be when she grow up? She went from wanting to be a painter to a hat maker, and when she saw the new sewing machine that my oldest sister lent us, she now wants to be a fashion designer. She wants to learn how to sew, I think she is ready, I started out a bit older than her, might be around 10 or 11 years old.
This is an assignment from Scott Thomas Photography, Assignment 4: November. You are welcome to participate, I think it would be interesting to see what November means to you.
The month of November made me think of Chrysanthemum flowers, this picture was taken at Biltmore Estate last Sunday.
But what November means to me is less time to play outside, especially in my garden, as the days are getting shorter, and nights longer. I feel trapped inside, and keep thinking of the beautiful vibrant autumn leaves that are falling off the trees one by one, wondering if I would ever see the last falling leave. As for my dog Max, I know he would, he has all the time in the world.
It’s obvious that he has got it made, he even has the time to stop and smell the fire hydrants.
- What about now by Chris Daughtry
It has been raining a lot lately, very gloomy and things seem very depressing no matter where you turn. As for most businesses in our area, they’re thriving, many are focusing on cost cutting rather than revenue generating since it’s a hopeless situation to bring in more business. It’s riding out the tough times, number crunching for many that work in the Accounting department, having nightmares about cash flow. It used to be that if you rubbed shoulder with the owner, then you have a job security, but not anymore, it’s most definitely you earn your keep these days. One thing that I’ve seen and learned, you don’t take your personal problems to work, and you don’t take work home, the two just don’t mix, Max knows what I’m talking about.
It has been a while since I last posted about my garden, the Summer just flew by and now we’re heading for the Fall season. I’ve decided to plant some Fall vegetables, mainly because I want to expand my garden, and have more planting space in the Spring, but I still have a lot more work to do.
Lee is putting her little touch in “her” garden, her latest additions to the garden were the mushroom and birdbath, and her job is to make sure there’s clean water in the birdbath daily.
Meet Bo, he is 100 percent Lao. When we were living in our old neighborhood, the neighborhood kids used to call him Tiger Woods, he would try to correct them, ‘If I were Tiger Woods, would I be living in this neighborhood?’ But still, when ever they saw him walking Teddy, they would say ‘Hey Tiger Woods!’
Several years back, he went to a conference in Denver Colorado and flew there with 2 of his co-workers. His work place booked him an economy (coach) class seat and he sat next to a lady. After he sat down, she asked if he was Tiger Woods. A bit amused but he was used to the kids calling him that, so he said, ’If I were Tiger Woods, would I be sitting in a Coach Class?’ That was over 5 years ago.
Well, as of right now, there is a good chance that he might be attending the White House Beer Summit after what had happened yesterday. It was the second day of school and Lee decided that she wanted to ride a school bus home, which I told Bo to let her try it out to see if she would like it. Lee is not a latchkey kid, our flexible work schedules allow one of us to stay home with her at all times. As of this year, I knew of several American parents that couldn’t afford to pay for their children after school program, so they became the latchkey kids where they would come home to an empty house with no supervision, they are as young as 7 or 8 years old, too young to be left alone in my opinion.
