When we awoke this morning our small world had been transformed.   The dark days<\/div>\n
of November were gone and everything was clothed  in snow.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Even better we had  a visit by a joyful mailman who Woody greeted.  A few  days earlier<\/div>\n
another grouchy mailman refused to deliver the mail because of Woody and  his wagging <\/div>\n
tail.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Some years we do not get snow  until Christmas  or later so\u2026at present\u2026this is a joyful<\/div>\n
day.  Shovelling will come later.  Shovelling can be avoided by driving the truck  up and down<\/div>\n
the laneway but that packs  it into ice.  A year or so  ago I went ass over teakettle on the <\/div>\n
ice and  knocked myself out.  So now I take short steps.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Our living room seems more welcoming on  days like this.  Sad  to say there will be no visitors<\/div>\n
for we are in isolation.  Scrabble today\u2026.we are even at 2 games each.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
No doubt all of you are out taking pictures as well.  Use short steps so there will be no<\/div>\n
need of a 911 call.<\/div>\n

P.S.  MARIAN KUTARNA\u2026thanks  for the nice note.  I will send details of the wood quilt now hanging in your library.  So nice<\/div>\n
to know  someone loves these folk art pieces.  <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
p.p.w.  To John Ricker\u2026Woody does not normally sit on  cold  snow but when  I said the picture was for you John he sat down.<\/div>\n
