Making snow angels is definitely one thing (maybe the only thing!) I miss about not living in an area where it snows. Love what you've done with the pic in your header!
Love your blog, Lisa, as I've said here many times, but I have to say, the image of those black Donkey teeth when the page opens is just a tad... off-putting. I hope that isn't as bad for him as it looks.

Well thanks for the heads up. Check Baby Doll out now. She's just had a virtual teeth brushing. Actually her teeth were very green when I first edited her teeth using the Teeth Whitening filter in Picnik. As you know horse eat hay and grass, hence the green teeth. Unfortunately, the teeth whitening filter tends to turn teeth darker instead of whter. Weird. So I used a Blush Filter and I think you'll feel much better about her teeth now.
Oh yes, if you follow my blog, you would realize that my header is NOT a donkey and is not a HIM. My horse's name is Baby Doll and SHE is a MARE.
Sorry, Lisa, I'd just come from one of my "donkey blogs" and kind of lost my mind for a minute. Yes, I know about Baby Doll, as anyone who reads your blog does, and she's a cutie. Even moreso now that she's gotten her teeth "brushed!"
neat snow angel! thanks for commenting on my blog - I meant 8 inches of snow, lol, and I think we have a total of 12" out of the storm. I can't believe the wind that you had! I thought our wind was howling loud enough, I can't imagine 80 mph winds! Did you loose any shingles or are they all frozen down? lol
Well that explains a lot. lol! I'm glad you didn't get 8' feet of snow. What a challenge that would be. I know folks in Maine are used to snows that deep, but most folks aren't. (thank goodness!)
No, no shingles lost. Most mountain living folks up here have Propanel metal roofs, heavy tile roofs or flat roofs, like we do.
Oh what a perfect Angel!! I remember those days of laying in the snow and playing in it for hours! My kids don't get to enjoy all the fun that comes with winter....

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. One Thousand pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs.
It's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.

Great snow angel. I love your new header, very festive. Baby Doll would make a drop dead gorgeous Donkey ho ho ho some people are hilarious.

Lisa.. it looks like you have perfect angels :)
What a beautiful, perfect snow angel made by a sweet angel!!
Happy "Snow Days" to you.....=)
Lisa,
Is it just me or what, but I also see a sitting Buddha on the lower left leg - as you're looking at the photo. Neat! Very ecumenical!

What a great snow angel! She must be a professional! And I keep meaning to tell you, I love the cute new header photo!
Oh what a perfect Angel!! I remember those days of laying in the snow and playing in it for hours! My kids don't get to enjoy all the fun that comes with winter....
Snow angels don't get any better. In fact, that might be the best one I've ever seen. :)
