Winter's last laugh

     It is blizzarding here today.  We have at least 14" of snow on the ground thus far.  The timing is awful.  Granted, we need the moisture and it is a weekend;  but we have company that needs to fly out to Europe this afternoon.
     My daughter's friend and her daughter have been here for a few days.  I will really miss little Aelwen Victoria, a sturdy blonde 3 year-old Disney Princess, who calls herself "Small Baby".   Charleigh will miss her, too.
     I have scooped the driveway a couple of times so far this morning, but who knows how the streets will be.  No snowplows have ventured into my street.  My daughter Kate will be taking them to the airport shortly. Fingers crossed that all goes well, and that this is winter's last hurrah.
