Now yesterday it snowed, heavily for awhile. It left this.
And this . . .
And this . . .
Beginning to look a lot like Christmas. (Except Christmas here was brown and dry this year.)
But today the sun has been shining off and on, the snow is melting, the streets are clean. It's looking more like Arizona, once again.
Contrast this with the first photo above to really see the difference. Our home faces north so the snow lasts a little longer than near the south-facing homes across the street.
New Years Eve makes me think of that traditional song, Auld Lang Syne. But as some of my friends would say, I'm a little kinky. So it also reminds me of this version, sung by the late comedy song writer Allan Sherman.
For you traditionalists, there are many versions of Auld Lang Syne on You Tube. I'll leave it to you search them out and pick your favorite.
With the help of some Gratuitous Critters, I'll just say for 2013 be nice to your family . . .
and your friends . . .
