My God It’s Full Of Stars!

Clever things they are, these new plastic glasses that turn bright lights into fanciful displays such as stars, snowflakes or snowmen. Check out the before and afters:

I put the glasses in front of the camera lens before taking the rightmost photo.

Christmas Cat

Everyone loved seeing Yossie in the tree, so here’s some video.

Enjoy!

Also – don’t miss the other three entries for today. And please leave a comment on this entry. I want to be sure everyone remembers how to and still can comment, since I am going to blog my Australia trip and would like people to comment 🙂

Let It Snow!

We had our first snow on…Thursday. Over 8 inches of snow fell during the day, and it was an absolute bear to shovel on Friday morning before we left for work. Here’s the driveway after we had finished:

Yesterday we got a snowthrower. More specifically, a Toro brand, 828-LXE model. And it’s a beast, both bigger and more powerful than the one we used to have for the Marcy home.

We were supposed to get a mighty storm today (and through last night), but so far the total snowfall seems less than Thursday. Even so, it was more than enough to put our new toy through a workout:

The leftmost image is KLS, the rightmost (obviously) me. Since I don’t really mind shovelling, much of the driving force behind getting this was KLS, especially since I’ll be gone for 3 weeks just after Christmas. She loves it, so I’m glad 🙂

Here’s a video of me using it. The manual claims it can throw snow 45 feet, and I don’t doubt it!
