Saturday and snow again

It has been nice to see the green of the grass even if it is more of a yellow dormant color than growing green. Today the snow started about 10 AM and we just finished plowing now (5PM) and there was about 4 inches of the new white stuff. It appear the temperatures will stay below freezing for a couple of days so we will be in winter again. I will be curling up in a chair with a good book and trying to enjoy the fact that we are inside for another week or two.


California Jessica has us thinking Oscars again this year as she was telling me about LA Oscar parties this weekend. I have seen only one of the best picture nominees this year. Slumdog Millionaire is a Fox movie so that is the one we will be rooting for. As for the other categories, I loved the movie Doubt and the nominees from that movie will have my vote. Meryl Streep for best actress and Philip Hoffman for best actor and Amy Adams for best supporting actress. I did not see the Curious Case of Benjamin Button but I understand the nominees from that movie are great too. The real question is whether I will even be awake for the announcements. I will probably read about it in the Blade on Monday morning. It would be a great party occassion if you lived in LA though.


Friday picture is a pussy willow cutting that is being forced into bloom. Very simple but pretty.
