New Years Eve Snow

At daybreak this morning the bedroom seemed unusually light, so I peeked out this window to see 4 inches of new fallen snow.  Dang!  I was getting used to the 50 degree temperatures.

Yes, I have a Christmas tree next to my bed.  Don't ask me to explain it.

Well, I can explain it actually...I am addicted to Christmas lights!

Here is another glimpse of the snow...

I like to listen to the cars go by in the snow.  It reminds me of spending the night at my grandmother's house...my father's mother.  The guest room that my sister and I stayed in faced the road, which was quite busy.  At Christmas most of the cars had chains on the tires.  I loved the musical sounds of the chains on the road.

Whatever happened to chains, anyway?  Are tires that much better now?

Anyway, it is funny the power that sounds, smell and taste have to pull back old memories. 

Wherever you are tonight, and whatever your weather, I wish you a safe and Happy New Year!
