Not sure why I was hanging more lights over the weekend when Christmas will soon be over… but I did just that. Actually, it wasn’t just me. I had help.
So what if I’m wearing shorts and it’s late December? Don’t judge me. At least I’m wearing a sweatshirt. And it’s a Merry Christmas one at that. Katie made it for me last year and I was happy to pull it out again this year.
Snow yesterday — squalls even?
It snowed sideways yesterday. Lots of snow…
I thought for a short time we were going to have some stick. But looking closer, it wasn’t really poofy snow, but snow pebbles. And even that was gone in about 15 minutes.
The only thing sticking around is the wind and cold (the wind makes it doubly cold).
The pool cover blew off… again. The big blue blow-up pillow that’s used to hold the cover off the water blew out into the woods. The wind was making it flop around against the trees. Merida was 100% sure it was a murderous perp just waiting to jump out and kill us all.
She barked at it all day long. 🙄
Now you know: The famous Christmas Carol, “Jingle Bells” was written by the uncle of J. P. Morgan. In the later verses, they lose control of the sleigh, crash, get laughed at, then are encouraged to pick up more girls and faster horses. It also was not originally a Christmas song.
