Saturday we got a little new snow. The day was balmy by Minnesota standards, in the 20's, sun shining.The cats enjoyed playing in the snow on the balcony.This set of photos were all taken Saturday.
Then Sunday arrived. It was about 5 degrees but with the wind felt much colder. The wind blew and blew yesterday. 30 mph all day with gusts that were up to 50 mph. It was cloudy to begin with, then with the falling,blowing snow there was no visibility. I had plans to go out shopping but quickly changed my mind and stayed in all day. There were so many accidents yesterday. People really need to stay home during this kind of bad weather.Nothing is so important it can't wait for another day. Gifts can be exchanged at another time. Really, the wise men didn't appear on Christmas, they came later. We celebrate it liturgically at a different time, which would seem to be the better time to exchange gifts. Some people won't be opening their Christmas gifts due to dying in car accidents from the bad weather. 9 died in MN due to weather related accidents.I tried taking some photos but the view from my apt all day were whiteout conditions. The photos just show white on white, I moved them to the trash.
Wexford, my big dark gray/white cat, is becoming friends with my 6 month old grandson Armando. He's the only one of the cats who plays with the baby. Armando tugs on his ears, which he loves. Armando stayed overnight with me, his parents went to the Vikings game at the Dome. The Vikings lost. Alex and Camila are both working today so Armando is still me me. It's nap time.
My 10 y.o. grandson found out today he is getting a baby brother in May. Ever since his Mom learned she was pregnant he has been so excited and hoping for a boy. The new baby won't be my grandchild but I will treat him like another grandchild. A baby is a baby, always a reason to rejoice.
I hope each of you is having a peaceful, sober holiday, enjoying time with family and friends.
