First snow fall of the new year....

and God willing the last. I sit here watching the beauty of the snow fall from my computer chair and the warmth of the house from the dining room window enjoying the view. I love to watch the snow fall it truly is a beautiful thing.
I just don't like the cold and I just can't drive in the stuff and not owning any 4 wheel drive vehicles at the present time well I forsee a couple days of staying home and watching TV and surfing the net.  
We will be eating those winter meals like brunswick stew, chili, soups, grilled cheese and hot chocolate. All the things that warm you from the inside out. I love those things, really I do I just know that after about 24 hours of being cooped up in the house with no real means of escape... well I'll be stir crazy. The forcast is calling for somewhere between 6-9 inches of the white stuff and you know what that means! I'll have to catch the youngest before he darts out the door unprepared for the cold with his mind set on throwing snowballs and building snowmen. He's ambitious so I wouldn't be surprised if he builds a snow family complete with pets.
For those of you that don't have the ummmm, "luxury", that was the nicest word I could think to use, enjoy the pictures.
