Well, it may not be a December record, but we've had snowfall every weekend this month. It's absolutely beautiful outdoors! I couldn't resist the opportunity to make a little snowman with the all the new snow and moderate temperature to go along with it. What fun to be outside on a day like this!
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. It was over all too soon, but only 361 days and it will be Christmas again! There are still several fun family gatherings yet to attend though. We'll be having Christmas with the Manns tomorrow, then New Year's Eve at the Rockhold's for fun and games, and on New Years Day we will be going to Memphis for the Miller Christmas celebration. 
This morning, Dennis and I took a little drive in the snow. We were just north of Keokuk when I saw a car spin out and slide sideways into the ditch! It happened right after I took this picture, and I almost got a picture of it!
We crossed the Keokuk/Hamilton bridge (which was completely snow covered) and I took a picture of the power house. As you can tell, the sky was thick with snow! I'd hoped to get a shot at an eagle, but they were all too far away. Visibility was very poor.
We drove up the Illinois River Road to Nauvoo. I really enjoyed the ride, because Dennis was driving carefully! We weren't the only ones out driving in the snow.
As we came into Nauvoo, visibility was so poor that we could hardly see the top of the "temple". We went out to the cemetery and were the first to drive through there. It wasn't bad until we got down to the south end where there are no tombstones, and then we were not sure where the road was, but we made it! Coming back, we were not far south of Nauvoo when we saw a deer standing on the road. By the time I got the camera turned on, it was running away.
After picking up a few things at the grocery store, we came back home and are just enjoying the quiet beauty of newly fallen snow!

It is surely a Beautiful Winter in Iowa. We had weird weather here today. A tornado warning for the county we are in. We took Ethel and went to the club house. Nothing transpired but we were ready. It cleared off and reached 73*. Enjoy the warmth of your home and each others company.
My first thought was "who on earth goes out for a RIDE in road conditions as the like" Then I realized I was reading YOUR blog lololololol We had nothing like that!!! We had maayyybeeee an inch and it was all melting off by 1:00 In fact, by 12:30, there was nothing on the trees anymore!!!!
You certainly took the long way to the store I'm thinking HAHAHAHA And one more thing....you sure on that count? 2008 is a LEAP year so there's gonna be an extra day ya know!! :)
