ABC Challenge: O and P

It’s Wednesday, time again for Melli’s ABC photo challenge.

Snowglobe thoughts

(Picture courtesy of the morgue file.) No, that title doesn’t mean it is snowing again. It means my thoughts are swirling around like a snowglobe.

Snow aliens and rooftop snowballs

Up and Down

Bet does these “Up and Down” posts occasionally, and I am going to borrow the format from her. UP: It STOPPED raining. We needed the rain, but I am glad it’s over. UP: IT’S SNOWING! This was after a couple of hours, I think. As of 10:30 my husband said we have 5 inches. DOWN: [...]
