It is really here

So winter has finally arrived. That is real winter, snow, ice pellets, ice crystals, the whole lot. Not just here at the Bluff but all over both Coasts. They again who ever "they" are says winter will come early and be very cold.

Lovely but cold and one could get knocked out if you slipped and fell on the stairs or boardwalks around here. Everything is kept shovelled and as clear as can be. Yet with falling temps and the layers of different winter hard to keep it from freezing. The big hope is that the weather will let up for the grocery run on the 6th. No joy having bad weather and slippery boardwalks.

Snow is every child's dream and maybe some adults as well for this season, for me it brings back memories of snow castles, angels, and of course sliding down a bevie of hills in the area, and times we skated on the ponds. There was this great pond in on of out towns, but I would have say that our wee pond here at the Bluff is only big enough for a bird to skate on. As small as it is here looking at it brings back great ones of the big pond from all those years ago.

It is dark now and I can see the Christmas lights we have put up my white and my neighbours many colours. And her ingenius trees in blue made up out of tomatoe cages.. I hope the passing ships can see them on a night like this, well off to get the snow off the sat dish for the last time tonight, so I will say bye from the Bluff
