It's Sunday. Hopefully everyone's having a wonderful day. I'm pretty much snowed in but...two young guys were out trying to make some money so I paid them a few dollars to shovel our sidewalks. My high point was when one of them said "I love your sign on your door." The sign says: Be@ware of tortoise.

We got a bit of snow last night. Literally, a bit: just enough to leave your footprint in a couple of places. We were still excited! (We=daughter and I on the way to her school) I don’t think people in Denmark ever need to shovel the snow. [emoji23]

Finally, the snow stopped...a good 12 inches of “fun”. Unlike in Denmark this will require some shoveling...

Here’s the front hedge...bending from the weight of the snow

Love your pictures. But I must admit that when I look at your pics they just look beautiful and not cold but then never having experienced snow I would have no clue just how cold it would be.

Happy Monday all.
Took the christmas tree down today and packed away all the decorations. Went to the post office again and checked up on my parcels. According to them, the parcels say un found on their system which means that they are sitting at one of the hubs waiting to be scanned and processed. They said that they are not stolen but the post is very slow. Trust the SA mentality to not care about time frames and to take their sweet time doing what should have been done long ago.

Argh, frustrating. How do they know it’s not stolen? Not that I think it is. Even my (second) card hasn’t arrived yet, right? [emoji849][emoji849]

Lol. If you need directions then let me know.

Do you guys have “elf doors” for Christmas? Your niece might like one. Christmas elves get into the house through this door and leave presents for children. And/or do something naughty, especially if you didn’t leave out any rice pudding for them.

Here’s one we set up in Turkey this Christmas:

That’s super cute! We have the “elf” but I’ve never seen the door. How cool!! I’m going to use that I think:)
