Country Xmas, City New Years

1-2-07 SHORT HILLS: No sooner had I written that last entry than the snow began. The 27th and 29th were snow days so I got to shovel twice. Actually, the second time the snow was so light that I used the leaf blower and cleared all the doorways in a few minutes. There was about eight inches of snow by the time we left on New Year’s Eve to return to Short Hills. Usually we do NYE in VT but were afraid of driving in the ice/sleet storm predicted for New Year’s Day. At the peak of the holiday week we had fourteen relatives in the house. After eight of them left, including the ones who had to be towed up the snowy road in their Volvo, we took down the tree and packed up.

If it was winter in Vermont, it sure isn’t in NJ. We got all rain here followed by sun and mud.

For the snow lovers, here are a few pix. The shots with white snow, white sky, black trees and almost no color really draw your eye to the colored object.
