Let It Snow!

No snow yet, but it's on its way. Right now the temp's dropped to 33 degrees, and with a northwest wind of 20 mph, that gives a wind chill of let's see....REALLY FREAKING COLD. Makes me really glad I got the last of the Christmas lights up yesterday, that's for sure.

Though I did have to go out this morning and run a couple of extension cords to finish hooking everything up. Something about being up on a metal ladder outside yesterday & hearing thunder convinced me that I might want to put off finishing up until today.

Ya know what I mean?

But now everything's wired & ready to go....except Sniper Santa keeps getting blown off the porch by the strong winds. What's Sniper Santa you ask? Well.

See, we bought this big plastic Santa, you know, that has the light inside and you set them out on your lawn? And I had put it out on our front porch to get it out of the way until I was ready to decorate. Mike & one of his 'brudders', as WildChild called him, decided to set it up on this table we have on the porch. They put him behind some vines I'd trained up one of the porch supports, and dubbed him 'Sniper Santa'. I wanted to put WildChild's pop gun out there with him, but Mike said the neighbors would call a SWAT team in on us.

He said that just like it was a bad thing.

Sheesh.
