How do you entertain yourself during a blizzard?

On Saturday morning I woke up and this is what I found outside! It was awesome!!! The first blizzard (I should say white out) of the year. We could barely see our neighbors house across the street. The power was out, so the heat didn't work...thank heavens for wood burning stoves!! But I was ready to get a dutch oven and start cooking over the fire. For as many times as I have watched Little House on the Prairie (yes, I am addicted and I am not ashamed to admit it), I could probably cook a gourmet meal over the flames!!



A blizzard is really only fun for a while and then boredom sets in. So what do you do? I decided to play with my camera. This is how my zoom works.

Close...

Closest!!! I think he was a little irritated at this point. Not really, I told him to make his angry face!


There were many other pictures I took that day, but I decided to keep those to myself. I am pretty sure no one wants to see an up close picture of my throat, or the one I took up my nostril. But, boy did I have fun!!! You may notice that most of my pictures are of my dad. That is because my mom likes having her picture taken as much as I do (which means never) - not because I love her less. I have the best parents any one could ask for!!
