White on Red

Here we go. It snowed all day yesterday and turned the backyard into a winter wonderland. It also turned the Jetport departures upside down. Elenka was scheduled to fly south to be with her family for a few days, but after repeated delays, that would have caused her to miss her connection at Laguardia, she called, and I ran in and picked her up. Spending a night in a Laguardia lounge, wrapped in a space blanket or a night in her own comfy bed? It was a no brainer. By noon today, she'll be in the land of oranges, and this winter setting will be well in her rear view mirror. Cue the dancing girls. Unwrap the cigars.  Tap the kegs. Turn on the Patriots. It's a batchelor weekend! 
Ah... who am I kidding?!
I'll probably spend it vacuuming!
So let it snow!

  3. Same scene here, tho it was I who was defeated by airports/weather yesterday. Hope Elenka gets to the sun w/out difficulty. I'm debating staying put here w/the purty snow.

  12. Nice shot.

    The Patriots are playing on Sunday. That should kill three hours.

    I feel honorbound to say something nasty about you vacuuming, but that is probably how I would spend my time, too. Shhh. Don't let anyone know.

  15. Instead of vacuuming why don't you bake some chocolate chip cookies!

    Love your winter scene photo.

    Re your comment about Linda Llama's name. If you had been following Adventures of Linda Llama you would know that her friend is Dolly Llama!
