I gave Mom and Dad my evil laser eyes and they still took
my Christmas Tree away. They brought all the
strange smelling boxes in from the gargage, put all the decorations in the boxes and kaput
Christmas was over.
As the last box was taken away, Dad (he is such a nut) says
not to worry Madi the tree will be back in 49 weeks.
So I'm counting the days already.
Mom probably is not counting the days, 'cause the tree being in the house requires lots of
clean up afterwards.
The next 7 days our temperatures will be in the 30's every day and in the teens at night.
So she decided to take a walk. To Lead Mine Lake.
What is this is see Christmas Wreaths. Were they fibbing about Christmas being over?


Then on down to the lake, where she found a new sign...

had a time with geese coming in their yards and leaving a mess.
The area now has fencing around the lakes edge too.
These are Canada Geese born and bred in NC...but we feel sure they will find enough food in the lake. January 1, 2010 started out very pretty temps about 45.
Update: January 2, 2010 1PM.
The arctic air arrived over night. It is currently 31 with wind gusts very very chilly outside.
There will be no walking outside today.
