Lets Jump Together

The Nature show on PBS featured this great episode a couple of weeks ago.
It was titled: Christmas in Yellowstone.
The photography is superb and the show was a joy to watch.
I am looking forward to when this one is rebroadcast.
The lady who narrated it had the perfect voice and tone as she told of the shortened [...]

This time those weathermen really had it wrong.
The prediction last night before we went to bed was 1 to 3 inches of snow, then a bit of a wintery mix of sleet and freezing rain.

Those Holiday Songs

It happens every year
