Scenes from the Garden State


Christmas Blizzard 2010

PTSD prevents me from recounting our harrowing journey from the Menlo Park mall to the Webster Hilton on 12/26. Allow these photos, taken upon our return, to paint you a more pleasant photo of the Jersey Snowpocalypse 2010 (not to be confused with our many Old Dominion snowventures of the 2009-2010 season).

Monday morning, we awoke to calmer skies and put those muscles to heave ho'ing a whole lot of the fluffy stuff. Remind me again why we're avoiding snow-blowers?

Poor Finn, who finally achieved garage status at home, found himself in a chilly predicament.

No surprise; the avian residents of the 'boro made out just fine. I await the day you get to the master gardening chapter on the pitfalls of feathered vertebrates, Karen Cultivates. ;-)
