Snow On The Ides Of April...

I snapped this picture yesterday morning as I headed off to work. The snowstorm overnight caused a stir with the locals, especially on the social networks. There were two kinds of posts due to the snow. The first were all the people complaining about the snow, because...it is April, after all.

The next group basically posted in response to the first group, telling the first group of people who complained that in our geographical location, snowfall in April is not unusual. It's to be expected, and to just deal with it.

My picture represented a voice from the minority. The photo's caption read, "I Don't Care What Anyone Says, I Still Love The Snow!" The photo and caption generated some reactions.

Comments to my post were as follows:

Noo noooo nooooo

In its proper time and season

Are you nuts?

And finally, a comment from my wife:

Me too! I just feel bad for the trees.

 I guess I'm not the only one who likes the snow.

A Night of Snow, Singing, Arctic Birds, and a Little Mime...

Just your basic Thursday evening...

A few days I got a call from our neighbor Carolee who is in charge of our stake's Easter program. We are lucky enough to have her available for some amazing musical productions. Carolee was in a near panic--one of her groups was not going to sing for the show that takes place this weekend. We planned and thought of alternatives for the musical number. We decided to rehearse tonight.

The time came and I left the house (I have probably not included this piece of trivia, but a seldom-used nickname for our house is The Cottage), so I left The Cottage and took some pictures of Snow Falling on Non-Cedars...

We were welcomed--literally--by penguins. Carolee has been involved in music for many, many years. When they moved into the neighborhood they remodeled the house and put in a beautiful music room, complete with two grand pianos.

We rehearsed and I came home. I know this is a bad picture, but this is how The Cottage looks tonight wrapped in a blanket of snow.

Once inside, my son wanted to show off his newly acquired talent. The visuals speak for themselves....Oh, and that's Brian Regan pontificating in the background.
