Flock of Birds

I captured this scene early one morning from our deck. They were looking for insects and worms. Early bird catches the worm.

Winter Wonderland II

The nor'easter dumped a December record snowfall of 18" inches on us and it finally stop early this morning. So there is a lot of shoveling for us. Here are some pictures I took while shoveling. Enjoy!!



Total of 18"



Where is the cars?





Aren't this beatiful! So peaceful and quiet.





Bandit enjoying the snow.



My shovel taking a rest ;)

Carlos hard at work.



Too bad I don't have a sled to go down this slope.





Putting some of the snow in David's truck and dump it somewhere else.

I think we did a pretty good job.

Man, I am tired so it is time to make myself a cup of hot chocolate, put up my feet and watch some TV.

Winter Wonderland in PA

Woke up this morning and this is the scenes that greets me. It's definitely a winter wonderland in the PA area today! This is the most snow that we've gotten in a LONG time. We still can’t go out to shovel yet as the snow continues to come down fast and furious. Anyone care to help us?
Happy weekend everyone!!







I will be posting more photos as the snow continues to accumulate. Part of me are excited that we will be having white Christmas but part me worries that I will be stranded at home for days as I still have a lot errands to run before Christmas.

Winter is here

Our first snow this season came pretty late this year. We had our 1st snow last year in November . Many people told me this winter will be bad as we have not had one bad one for 5 years. My neighbor Nancy told me one of the tell tale sign is the deer fur are much thicker and darker and also the beetles are huge. So we have to wait and see if this is true or not. I might not have to shovel much snow this season as I will be going back to Malaysia for Chinese New Year. I can't wait to go home for some warm weather ;)






All my potted plants are death.

Except for this one in the house given to me by SC. Just look at the beautiful flowers.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

This is what we woke up to this morning. The snow is still coming down fast and furious now. Carlos is taking some vacation time all the way up to next week and we thought of going down to the Philadelphia Museum of Art this morning. So, there goes our plan as we don't want to drive around in this weather. I remember the last winter we had our first snow on the 7th of January and for this winter we had it as early as November.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr..Winter Is Here!

We have been having some cold snap of winter here in PA and its not even winter yet. It’s dark by 4 pm and rains all the time and this morning the temperature hovered just below 25 degree and its so freaking cold. We have frost and some snow on top of the car and it’s snowing now. I can’t imagine what this coming winter will be like. I hope we won’t have too much snow to shovel. On the lighter note I will be going back to a warmer weather back home which I am not looking forward to either. I guess I can’t have it both ways!

Winter Storm!!!

In my part of the country, winter has finally arrived. We are in the mist of snow now and so far is already 2" of accumulations on the ground. Is a mixed with rain and sleet and makes driving impossible. Carlos is still at work and he is going to leave his truck in the office and hitch a ride from a colleague.


The sooner the snow comes, maybe the sooner it will end. That is what I kept telling myself. Hopefully this winter won't be as bad as the last one where I had to shovel a lot. It's the price one has to pay living in a place with 4 seasons.

Hopefully it will stop soon.

Winter Is Here

Winter is definitely here in PA. We had a light coating of snow on the ground today and it is really cold outside. I open the blinds to the deck and watch the snow falling slowly while I am baking my cookies. It is really beautiful. The snow came really early this season and I really hope this is not an indication of the worst to come. I don't mind the snow but not the shovelling part.

I started my cookies baking yesterday. So far I've baked 3 kinds of cookies. I still have a few types of cookies to bake and then I am done.

We will be attending an early Christmas party this weekend and I have yet to decide what to bring. Maybe I will just bring some of my cookies :)
