> Well, it's been snowing since 3:00 a.m., and we have about 20" already. The total, when it stops tomorrow afternoon, could be up to 32". Or more. We're getting between one and three inches every hour.
>
> Next to my desk is a bare dogwood tree filled with robins. Big, fat, rust-bellied birds are covering this tree--forty of them, at least. They're eating the red berries off the holly tree by my side porch. They've been here for hours and are absolutely beautiful.
>
> Someone on the news was reading an e-mail from a viewer who was talking about the robins eating berries by his window. I've never seen anything like it in my life.
>
> It's a day to be in. I've had three tablespoons of Jif, some hot cocoa, a tub of cool whip, a bologna and cheese sandwich, chips and salsa, a chocolate chip cookie dough candy bar, four mini oreo cookies, and three--okay, four--kisses. We walked to the grocery store a while ago to get some ice cream for this evening, and it's a good thing, 'cause I'm starving!
>
> Now I'm going to do my workout video--the lame "Walking Away the Pounds." It's sooooo boring, but I've been doing it almost every day for three weeks. (Some days I substitute sleigh riding because that is some serious exercise there! We have the steepest hills!)
>
> Wish I had some cross country skis, but this winter is the first time I'd have been able to use them since about '99; it snows so infrequently.
>
> Well, I'm toast, and my peanut butter butt is begging me to get off it.

> butterbeardy : )>Your lucky. Snow's so magical!!!!!!!!!
