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 🙂

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!

We bought this lovely item yesterday:

As you can see it’s apparently a crazy-loud plastic horn toy. How loud? Who knows, I haven’t yet opened it. The warning about earplugs and outdoor use only is promising though.

Anyway, the possibility of obscenely high noise was enough to win me over on this product (found in a grocery store). Especially with Christmas so close (right now it is wrapped waiting to be opened by someone very lucky). But one particular aspect of this product made it an absolute, no-question, must buy…

IT’S FROM THE FUTURE!!

On Christmas day, we will know what next week sounds like 🙂
