Let It Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

Thank goodness the weekend has arrived! I can't remember ever being so tired.... Saturday is a cool day and we are hoping for snow on Sunday - a 60 percent chance ???? I hope the weather predictions are better here than in Australia.

The main item on the agenda today is to go and collect our new car - it has been a little bit of a saga. Garry found these guys called Suba Pros - who are passionate about Subaru's and both service and rebuild and sell cars. We were supposed to collect the car a week ago but whatever could go wrong did go wrong. I am a little anxious about the car collection as it means I will finally have to drive - I have managed to avoid it so far.




The car looked great and we all arrived home safely - it was a really weird feeling driving on the wrong side of the road. The Subi is the same model and year as my old green one back home - I thnik we got a great deal. With a brand new engine and paint job we paid $6,900 and I sold my old one for $10,000 and it had a few issues. We were out the front admiring our new car when the first snowflakes began to fall! The kids were so excited!!!!





What a difference a day makes!!! I woke this morning, (Sunday) to Yasemin excitedly telling me that she had spotted squirrel footprints in the snow. I went outside immediately, armed with my trusty camera to a chilly, but sunny, icy zero degrees morning. Not sure if my thongs are the best choice in footwear.....

I am standing on the front porch working up the courge to go out in the cold....


I still can't believe how beautiful our surroundings are, especially with a fresh dusting of snow! I love Denver!!!!! I am off to enjoy breakfast in front of the fire....
