Busy Night
I woke in the night and there seemed to be more light than usual coming in through the window, so I looked out and we had snow- a complete covering of snow. Isn't it magical how it can fall for hours and you don't hear a thing? I went back to bed and found myself trying to remember the words of "O Little Town of Bethlehem"- a hymn which doesn't actually mention snow but seems to imply it. "Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by." That's a snowscape surely! "How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given." Can't you just see it drifting down?
Later I was woken by Sameena next door shouting at the baby. He cries a lot and she was reproaching him for keeping her awake. "That won't work" I thought, but apparently it did, because we didn't hear another sound.
Well, not from him- but the rabbits have been moving furniture all night long and are still at it this morning. I tidied their room yesterday and they've been getting it back the way they want it.
The snow's still falling by fits and starts. Maybe I'll go out later with the camera and shoot some Christmassy views.

I envy your snow, but it is beautifully clear and bright here.

If the forecasts are right the snow is headed your way.

I'd love to see your snow photos. Here we are having a mini-hurricane - violent winds and slashing rain.

Do you still have them?

Meant to add a non sequitur. I'm wondering whether Ailz had success in starting a jade plant from that leaf I sent. I'm tracking the jade diaspora in a desultory fashion.

Ah the jade plant. Sorry, I've been meaning to answer your post- but I had to ask Ailz first because I never know which plant is which. She says the jade plant is flourishing and that it flowered just before Christmas.

The jade plant leaf (very fleshy, no lobes) was an afterthought.

"Oh, you mean the jade plant" she said. And pointed it out.
It's doing fine. I'll post a picture....

I love the snow when I don't have to drive anywhere.

I don't quite know what's happening here. We had a period of thaw, but it's still very cold and I think it may well snow again.

I wish I could send you some of the snow from here so you would have a goodly amount! ;^)

Way down here in southern Spain I see snow in my dreams sometimes.
Your bunnies really move the furniture around?

The snowfalls of my childhood were REALLY snowfalls.

GR and the west coast still get lake effect snows, but they don't stay like they used to. I remember a time about 12 or 14 years ago when I was in GR for Christmas as we got over 3 feet of snow in one evening. I don't think even the lake effect snow is like that anymore.

They have a big cardboard box in there that serves as their burrow. What they were doing last night was knawing themselves a new entrance/exit.

Rabbits move furniture? Somehow this freightens me...
