Salut! It's been a very long time since my last post and I apologize for my lack of attention. My posts seem to be picking up a pattern of beginning with "it's been a long time." I was sick for more than a week - I guess it's something you might call the flu? Of course, this is not the reason I've been neglecting my blog, but it does sound very relevant. I didn't really get out of bed for a week, which was just horrible! All I kept saying was "there's crumbs in my bed!" because of all the toast I ate there.
And, oddly enough, I was all unlucky. Soon after I became ill (teehee) we get lots of beautiful snow that needs its picture taken, and where am I? I'm glued to my bed while it's snowing very gorgeously outside my windows... But fear not, I did bundle up and went out to take pictures. However, there is no argument that a sprite, happy Caroline might have taken a lovely selection of pictures, versus the coughy, sluggish one which had less than any gusto, doncha knoo.
And then the power went out. Along with my voice. Funny how time seems to just drag on without electrically powered machines and vocal abilities. And not only was the power out, but I was also out of Star Trek; a truly sad occasion. We've started watching Voyager from the beginning and Star Trek is so lovely when your sick. Or should I say especially lovely. Ah, well.
Here are half of my favorite pics from the snow days... Enjoy!



Snow is so wet. Especially when it's not extremely cold outside. In order to avoid the complete soaking of Griffin's camera, I cut the corner off of a Zip-Lock and stuffed the camera inside, along with my hand. It worked rather well, except when the plastic slipped over the lens, like in the above picture, and when the plastic slipped over the viewfinder.


I tried and tried to get a shot of the snow that was stopped mid-fall. It was very difficult and I never really managed a shot that I'm all that happy with.

This was taken from an upstairs window. I thought it looked so quaint.
I have more pics! I will post them in a minute... :) Which may turn into a day, or it may not.
