We received our first measurable snow over the weekend. Just a paltry 2", but that's all I need for this year.

Snow isn't as much fun as it was 50-55 years ago.

We used go to the appliance store and get a refrigerator box, squeeze 6-8 kids in there (hopefully some of them were girls) and slide down the hill backwards in that box.

Lot's of fun and much safer than riding on a car hood being towed down a gravel road behind a 4WD pickup at 50MPH.

The river is iced over and the eagles have returned to the open water below the dam.

Good news is spring is only 90 days away! Eagles go away and the robins return.

Stay safe and warm.

Merry Christmas!

( No wimpy PC happy holidays from me).
