Blizzard 2011

When we woke up Tuesday morning this was what I saw out the front door.......

There was at least 8 inches of snow on the ground and 4 foot snow drifts on the front and back patio. Truth be told up until yesterday I didn't know what the term snow drift meant much less use it in a sentence. So I guess that means I'm really an Okie now complete with a snow vocabulary,


a coat with a fur lined hood,


a son who wears a balaclava (the thing protecting his face),



and a hubby and son who play with sleds in our cul de sac. Yep, it's official.

As my neighbor shouted across the street to us Tuesday morning while assessing the snow accumulation in his drive way, "Welcome to Oklahoma!"
