We had several snowfalls this weekend in Farmington...probably a foot of snow with 6" remaining today. The driveway is a sheet of ice frozen under a powdery layer. The forecast for the week is occasional showers and highs in the upper 20s, so the snow isn't going anywhere.
The mugho pines are sporting a fancy frosting. Can you see my little mushroom by the pond?
On the way home from church on Sunday, Dad spotted this huge eagle in a tree on the corner as you turn east up Shady Creek Lane. He went back for a photo and the big bird graciously obliged.
Ladder Lady putting on the tiny ornaments at the top of tree.
3 lucky lovely ladies (Gallivan Center ice skating sheet in the background) just after the marvelous Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert (with Orchestra at Temple Square and combined bell choirs) at the Conference Center.
We're back together after 3 years with Randy & Melanie Lewis and Naida & Rob Stayner for our Christmas party. The Lewises returned this summer after 3 years in Alaska (Mission President). We had cold Alaskan King Crab (oh, baby) in drawn butter and cold shimp in cocktail sauce for appetizers, then moved on to stroganoff, rolls, spinach salad, fresh pineapple and brownies with cherry chocolate chip ice cream!!! We talked from 6:15 unil 11:30pm! Fun.
Randy & Melanie's front yard...Alaskan moose, of course!
On beyond zebra...last week in Relief Society, a member of the presidency (an elementary school teacher) gave the lesson on "Keeping Christ in Christmas." She had a number of people share traditions and at the end she talked about making white chocolate nativities. Then she passed out a tin of 11 individually-wrapped characters comprising the Nativity to each of 25 people in attendance! What a lot of work. But it is beautiful. Not sure when or if I'll indulge.......

wow, a bona fide bald eagle in Farmington?! signs of the times... can we look forward to seeing him/her this week too? Great pics as usual. Glad the dream team is back together, with stroganoff no less, AND seafood of course. Here's to hoping we can make it on the roads --had an ice/snow storm here yesterday, and some of the traffic cameras in the blue mtns are frozen over!
WHOA...a bald eagle. That IS impressive. We're getting snow today, lots of it. Yuck. And of course there was shrimp cocktail...would Randy have it any other way? Looking forward to visiting this weekend!
