I am so lovin’ it. It is a real sacrifice to be indoors as it is an absolutely gorgeous day here and we’re between some not-so-great ones. But for this fun event, I am willing to pop out for a few minutes and then come back!

We actually got our first snow last weekend–not the one just past but the one before, and were just out of the real worst of it on Thanksgiving. I am not a snow fan as I often say but it was lovely and a nice precursor to Christmas. We will probably get mostly rain this next time but mostly wind and colder temps–low in the 20s and highs in the lower 40s. For desert rats, that is cold! The wind is due to really crank up on Wednesday.  You can see a post I made on my own blog on the weather. That’s at http://deirdre-fourds.blogspot.com/2013/11/sw-in-desert.html

It was awesome--Sue Ellen actually popped in to comment–see her notes under the Best Christmas Ever post. And I found out her story is released tomorrow! That is soooo cool and I will keep my promise to award a copy to someone.
