Snow!
It comes down, or it came down, but the present tense sounded more poetic. But the snow is a white blanket over the neighborhood. It's not as deep as I would have liked, but it's deep enough to be fun.
My brother and I went and froliced, if you define frolic as "Wrestling and throwing about in a manner that hurts considerably less on snow than on mere cold hard ground." Snowballs have been exchanged, and I would like to think that I have been coming out ahead in the conflicts, though my brother would beg to differ. However, he also thinks that The Phantom Menace is a good movie, so we'll let that rest where it is.
We went out and did the Obligatory Shoveling of the Driveway and Front Walk, and I even liked that, because it was out in the snow and also something of a work-out (especially when you factor in the Obligatory Abandoning of Shoveling to Run About and Put Snow Down People's Necks). One of the neighbors had a little pine tree in their yard, and the white Christmas lights were still up, and it looked really... neat. (Note studious avoidance of the phrase 'pretty.') At another time I might have thought they were overdue for taking the Christmas lights down, but tonight I just thought that THIS was the setting where those lights belonged, not on 40-degree nights with grass still green and a season that jumps up and down and says in a squeaky voice, "Look at me! I really AM Winter! Be frozen! Be cold... Please be cold?" And then it pouts, as if that will help its cause.
But I ramble on. Anyway, snow-- I like it. :-D

It FINALLY got cold and snowed here too but i left the 'frolicing' to my siblings and dog while i enjoyed the quiet inside and read my book. :P
i love snow too!! and i'm kind of busy so i might reply to your email a bit later. see ya.
Why does everyone rub in the fact that everyone has snow but me? *sobs*
I do agree, though. The Phantom Menace was horrible.
didn't see the Phantom Menace.... to be quite honest, I'm much more into Star Trek. although anyone who actually knows me has known that for a LONG time.... actually, only since, like, March last year or thereabouts..... anyway, I don't know why I'm blathering on about Trek. see y'all later, y'all being all of Ethan's friends I don't know..... *sob. it's too late to be writing messages to people I don't know, I tend to get quite stupid this hour of the night.
Emily: Aye, that kept bugging me to fix it, dunno why I didn't. Just lazy I guess. ;)
I would have stayed inside to read, if snow wasn't such a good instrument of torture. :D
Rachel: Heh, tell my brother. And I'm sorry you don't have snow. Do you usually get snow?
Ellen: Get some sleep. My blog's not worth dying of exhaustion over. ;)
Well, maybe...
There is never an overdue time to take Christmas lights down. :P We still have ours up around the front door and they look very neat and pretty too. ;) :D
Sadly, we did take down our Christmas tree this week.
we took our Christmas lights down a LONG time ago..... in a galaxy...........um..... no, SW jokes won't work around people who actually are SW geeks. Lol. feel free to make all the ST jokes you possibly can, though... and don't just google Star Trek jokes. i know them all already, having read them several times.
actually, one night i DID stay up until, like, midnight reading your blog. it was quite interesting. you surprised me many times.
Heidi: I agree about the Christmas lights thing. Unfortunately, my mom wanted to get all that work done before school started, so we took all our decorations down a couple weeks ago.
EH: I don't know any ST jokes. Mainly because I wouldn't get them if I did know them. Oh well.
email me! tell me what you thought of the, um, chain letter parodying chain letters. unless of course it's in your BLOODY SPAM FOLDER!!
