Default OT A white day-after-xmas

Was just laying here on the couch enjoying the quiet when I heard a
sound that I thought at first was running water. I thought one of the
kids was brushing his/her teeth and that it was just the upstairs sink
running at first but the sound continued... and then started getting
louder... and louder... I got up and looked... Frozen rain coming
down pretty hard here. Just started about 5 minutes ago. I let the
cat out onto the back porch. He took four or five steps and stopped
and turned around and came right back inside. heh heh Wow, it's
already covered the ground enough to look pretty. I'm gonna have to
go play in this stuff with the kids later. :-)

Make sure to post some pictures. I miss the freezing rain in the south.
Makes you wish you still had the LCB to go play after the rain is over
doesn't it???

Laying onthe couch when you should be fixing dinner...the pork roast
is browned with the onions and in the Dutch oven, so I don't have to
do anything except maybe pour out a wee dramie till I put the
veggies in a few hours from now.

Powder snow here, maybe an inch...not enough to send the kids out
to shovel

Fixing dinner at 7:30 in the morning? :-) Actually I took care of
that last night. Put the leftover ham bone in the crock pot with some
dried beans. Man, that was some good bean soup we had for lunch
today.
