It started snowing at 3:15 this afternoon. Didn't stick and didn't last long, but Deena ran around in it with Peaches and we took photos. "It's snowing!" my daughter kept yelling, as she continued running around in circles on the Spanish Driveway.

In case you didn't know it, snow is a big deal out here.

Yesterday, Kathy, Deena and I went to Scotsdale to have dinner with Frank's Italian mother. We had an amazing five course dinner. A loud, boisterous time was had by all (it really is the polar opposite of my many Norski Christmas dinners). Ha.

Chopped wood earlier with my Fiskars Axe which Santa brought me. A review tomorrow.

Well, it snowing again at five. Great skies. Did another cloud study. I'm getting better at this.

Kathy got a book, "Dirty Spanish: Everyday Slang from "What's Up?" to "F*%# Off!"

Funny stuff. Like this:

"Soy Canodiense. Es como un yanqui, pero sin arma."

"I'm Canadian. It's like an American without a gun."
