[Snowman in my neighborhood; 12/30/10]
The blizzard on the east coast last weekend caused a lot of headaches for travelers. My flight back from Detroit to Boston on Sunday was canceled, luckily before I left for the airport. Delta automatically re-booked me for Tuesday morning, which was great until I realized they were sending me through Minneapolis and instead of an hour and 15-minute flight I'd be traveling all day. At least I wasn't stuck in some airport sleeping on the floor. I made it back -- and in style as they bumped me up to first class from Minneapolis. Meanwhile, I got to spend a couple more days with my father, which was nice. But I'm glad to be home.
Yesterday afternoon just before sunset I walked around the neighborhood as the snow slowly melted, my boots and my camera re-marking familiar territory.

Well, it may be that "it ain't always pretty," but these picture sure bring to life a lovely winter world.
Happy New Year!

When did you snap that first picture, the one of me?
:-) Happy New Year, dear. Thank you. You're the best.

Thanks, Maria. It was warm this weekend and it's just about all melted now. I'm sure there'll be more...
Dale: :-) Same to you.

That snowman photo is fantastic! Totally made me laugh. Your weather definitely calls for hot oatmeal in the morning. Stay warm.
