Winter wonderland

2010.12.18

Last two nights we were surprised by a carpet of white snow

The view through the front door.

The view of the garden from where I sit at my computer.
(I lay on the floor with my camera.)

Thickness of snow layer.
18 cm = 7.1 inches

Some wishes for the end of year celebrations:

May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.
---
May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist and your plumber.
---
May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues.
---
May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May you find the food better, the environment quieter, the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure much more fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do that night.
---
May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until you finish dinner, may the commercials on TV not be louder than the program you have been watching, and may your check book and your budget balance - and include generous amounts for charity.
---
May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to your spouse, your child, your parent, your siblings; but not to your secretary, your nurse, your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor.

Super setje San!!! amai, jullie hebben een flink pak gekregen, hier ook wel sneeuw, maar toch iets minder, kdenk zowat de helft, twas gisteren niet bepaald gezellig om rond te rijden met de camionette pff.

What lovely wishes! These are wonderful shots, though if you had a chair at your computer, #2 would have a different look :)
