winter

ahhhh, winter in pennsylvania. ya just gotta love it! yes, ya just gotta cause otherwise you would lose your mind. whilst my darling son and (pseudo) daughter-in-law porch-sit in raleigh and regale me with tales of blossoms and blooms, i fight 50mph winds with below zero wind-chill factors. as i said, ya gotta love it, NOT. shall we say 8 degrees maybe this weekend:) in spite of it all, there are some great and fun things to be had here as the pictures show. this was a fantastic, nearly perfect sunday morning snow-boarding adventure in the back field. Dad provided a ride back up the hill and as more trips were made the better the track became. even i gave it a try and i really have to get me one of these things! having one in the correct size just might help. it is great fun, uses a classic kenpo karate stance and requires superb balance. i now have much more respect for those guys in the olympics! thus said, i shall go shovel some more coal into the outside furnace and curl up with some nice hot tea:)
