There was no way to play golf this weekend...we got a foot of snow on Friday, and more yesterday when these shots were taken.
I happen to have a collection of old school snowmen...small statues from the 50's and 60's. I took the collection outside and photographed it ... in its natural element... so to speak. I hope to use the pictures for my digital holiday cards. Nick hates the small plastic figures. He finds them tacky. That's his problem, because I think they're cute.
We spent most of the weekend indoors; I made Christmas Cookies, Cranberry Sauce and a Velouté de légumes (an awesome French vegetable soup). We had hot cider with bourbon, and eggnog with rum, and an lovely Côtes du Rhône, and actually... I don't remember much else about the weekend. Except that it was good.
Looks like fun! Golf can wait...but only a little while. ;o)
ReplyDeleteLove the snowmen! Don't mind Nick. Our Christmas snow is turning into rain--huge bummer. This is about the only time of the year I long for snow. Hubbie disagrees. I won't mind him either!
ReplyDeleteHeather, if it's any consolation it's supposed to be in the 50s here on Wednesday...maybe we will play golf over the holidays after all. :o)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nick. The snowmen are tacky :\
ReplyDeleteuh-huh...and did you make enough cookies for ALL of us, missy ? :-)
ReplyDeleteMAN I miss real snow. We're lucky if we get a couple of inches a year, so it's just miserable and damp.
Born and raised in New England... So glad I live in Phoenix now! Kind of hard to trade apples for chili's but I managed. Not hard to trade shoveling snow for golf!
ReplyDelete"Want snow! Head on up to Wacky Willy's Snow Emporium. We're overstocked! Great deals on cash and carry. We need to make room for the new 2009's so HURRY ON DOWN! These prices won't last.
ReplyDeleteNOTE: There is a special premium on the non-white models as there is a limited selection."
A foot you say? Well let me know when you get up to 3. We're there and it just keeps coming. And we're only supposed to get up to freezing this week so it ain't gonna melt. Maybe courtgolf can pick up some of those cookies for me and bring them to me. That way he'll get cookies and have real some snow to enjoy 8=)
Actually, Lone, I was hoping for home delivery !!! :-D (don't tell her hubby I said that)
ReplyDeleteYou know, it isn't the snow so much as how the footing is tricky on the ice beneath. Plus, it is hard to hold the frozen greens, even on the South Shore of Massachusetts. And the groundskeepers do a terrible job in (not)clearing the cart paths. I don't like having my Club Car towed. Otherwise, the golf is great.
ReplyDeleteI usually play golf on Long Island Christmas Eve..Not this year! Figures, I got my new clubs the day before the snow storm, so can anybody give me tips on fixing holes in the basement ceiling. I better put a heater in the garage or my wife will kill me.
ReplyDeleteWhile I can't play a course, I can play Top Golf which is a great driving range/game facility that you can drink at!! Despite torrential rain in DC, we were hitting the balls and having loads of fun (could be because I won two of the three games?)
