Heading to Bristow, VA, Just Ahead of the Snow, We hope

Waiting for the Snow

Dawn

Flock of  sixty Buffleheads 

Up early, as we are off by 7:00 for Bristow, VA, to be with the Bissell's for Christmas. It's around 32º outside.  We cannot wait to see Hayden and Hall and their parents of course.  Weather is supposed to heat up later today, a couple of inches of snow, perhaps just rain most of the way, something we are used to.  Because of the heavy winds, our yard is once again littered with branches from our trees, both front and  back yards.  I get see either snow or sleet falling outside, but it's not sticking to the ground.  We hope to be off by 7:30 or 8:00, arriving in Bristow around 3:00.

Yesterday went too quickly, morning Yin Yoga and that's about it for the day, other than getting the house ready for our departure, making sure we have everything packed and in order.  You would think we would have this down by now but it's always traumatic, wondering if we forgot anything, always taking twice as much as we need.  But we have to be prepared for both snow and rain as well as some sunny days, or so we hope, after Christmas of course.  Evie had a hard time yesterday, no energy, but she managed to get things done, get packed, and we are ready to head to VA.

For dinner, we had pork burritos, with all kinds of fixings, watched the #50 and #51 episodes of Parenthood; we are caught up to this season.  We still really like it.  A restless night for both of us, but we are ready to hit the road.
