Let it Snow!

We were expecting a huge blizzard last night. What we got was later and less than expected, but the city still woke up to a winter wonderland.

These two pigeons reminded me of Statler and Waldorf from The Muppet Show. I could just imagine them saying curmudgeonly things about being snowed on and blown around.


The water in the middle of the Muddy River hasn't frozen over yet.
For those of you in San Diego for which the sport is a little foreign, the Celtics is Boston's basketball team. The wind was really whipping the snow around. (That's not flocking, my friends.)
I got to wear one of my Sunshine hats and scarves today.
Can you see how the wind blew the snow into peaks?
I made peppermint bark for our company holiday party.
The Massachusetts State House is across from Boston Common (Est. 1634).
I like trivia, but I don't think I would be very good at Men's Room Trivia.
Greg ran the Jingle Bell run last weekend. Along with several other people. And several reindeer.

Changes

It snowed! It was beautiful and fluffy. Greg and I had dinner at the Italian restaurant across the street and I faced the windows. (That's the hat I knitted.)After growing it out for a year, Greg was ready to cut his hair. (Watch the neck.) See the neck now?
Shorter than I would have liked, but the curls will grow back.
After snowing Saturday night, the temperatures stayed in the 30s, so the snow stuck around.
It snowed again yesterday, Wednesday. You can't see it here, but it was snowing on those poor, puffed up pigeons. I was about to get in the shower when I saw it was snowing. So instead, I raised the blinds all the way up and hopped back into bed to watch the big fluffy snowflakes fall. It seems like winter suddenly arrived this week. Just last week, it was in the 60s, and it hasn't even gotten into the 40s this week. I think winter is here to stay.
Winter is here to stay, that is, until December 23. Then I'm flying back to San Diego, where it will be much warmer. It sure is great being from a temperate vacation destination. Not to mention, I can't wait to see my family and friends.

The End of November

I took two pictures of the Prudential Tower, or the Pru, tonight on the full moon.My camera couldn't capture everything my eyes could, but it sure was gorgeous.

I spent Thanksgiving weekend with Greg's family.

On Thanksgiving morning, Greg, his sister-in-law Shaney, and I ran the Manchester Road Race. The race is 4.748 miles and is so much fun. Most of the race is along residential streets. Many runners are in costume and the roads are lined with local spectators.Billy is helping me knit a scarf for my friend Britt. Billy also helped me measure it. Britt was hoping for a scarf at least six feet long that he could wrap around his neck twice to combat the harsh Boston winters.I think the scarf is long enough. It's been unseasonably warm lately, but that will soon change. Tomorrow's expected high is 61 degrees, but it will dip down to the low 40s with the possibility of snow showers for the weekend.
