Up and at'em and off to 8:00 Mass. Met Claire at church and then drove to her lovely home for delicious mimosas, hot cinnamon spiced tea and yummy pastries. So fun being together and chatting the morning away...
This afternoon, the city came by with their equipment to dig up a tree stump. When we were in NC for Thanksgiving, the city came and cut down the tree cause it had that emerald ash borer disease. And now the stump is gone! The tree was between the street and sidewalk, so belonged to them. It was planted several years ago and had gotten to a nice height, but.....lots of trees in town were lost to this ash borer stuff. Mark ran some errands when I got home

Digging up the stump with heavy-duty equipment
Been meaning to include a picture on the blog of this beautiful, bountiful Christmas cactus that Mark's Mom has in her front window.....love this flower and oh-so-pretty this time of year
(My Mom always had one in full bloom, too).

A pot of chili is simmering on the stove and we are hunkered down waiting for the
flakes to fall....
Snow started around 5ish. Around 5:40, my friend Allie texted that the Blue Angels were going to be on CBS news. We quickly switched channels and got to see them do a flyover at Ground Zero and 1 World Trade Center (taped earlier this afternoon)! The photographer was with Ryan taking photos. Neat, but very quick!!! Thanks again, Allie. There's several pictures and video coverage online - Ryan texted how neat it was!!!
Enjoy your weekend!
