Christmas Eve photos...

Because it's Christmas Eve, I got out my camera.

First, I asked the Little Feathered Guys to pose. They really tried, but sitting still isn't easy for them.


Logan is the blue one, Peter is the green one, and Jubilee is the yellow one in motion.



My friend Kermit, the crocodile from Ikea, showing off his special Christmas antlers on my chesterfield.


Remember how much it has been snowing? Then suddenly we got two days of above-zero temperatures, and rain. Lots and lots of rain. Two days of warmth and rain wasn't enough to wash away the snow, though, and today it's colder again, and snowing. So I took some pictures of the snow.

Huh, for some reason I pictured you living in an apartment building, not a house.

And I thought your birds were bigger. Maybe because I don't really know what
budgies are. I was picturing more like bigger size parrots - the kind that
pirates have. [g]

I'm up in Westchester for the holidays; when I first got here the place was
covered in frozen snow - would have been perfect for sledding down our
slope. Unfortunately, we got a day of rain and wind storms as well the
next day, and much warmer weather - there was beautiful mist rising
from the land as the rain hit the snow and the two temperatures
commingled, but it meant that most of the snow melted away and now
there isn't enough to sled.

You are quite right: I do live in an apartment building, not a house. My apartment building faces the houses pictured. The neighbourhood is mostly nice old houses, or nice old renovated houses. But along the canal, there are several apartment buildings. Mine is one of them. Overlooking and facing the houses.

My little guys aspire to be fierce piratical birds, but they are, in fact, quite small. (In stature, not personality.) Budgies are more like tiny parrots, not large ones.

Westchester? Isn't that where the X-Men live?

I'm sorry to hear most of your snow is gone, and I hope you get it back!
