This was the huge rock in my yard at around 1:30 pm today, when it started to snow:

Woo Hoo! My first blog award!
My friend Celine at My Life, My Hopes, My Future gave me this award!
This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships!These blogs are exceedingly charming.
These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement.
Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!
Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award. (Sorry, I don't know of eight bloggers LOL)

Winter fun
Kyle and Liam tried out their new skis today, courtesy of the wonderful (can you hear my sarcasm?) snowfall we are STILL enjoying. Liam took to it like a duck to water, but Kyle had a bit more trouble
They skied for about a half hour before they got too cold (and tired of falling ha ha) and came in for some pizza and hot chocolate. Wally the wonderdog had a grand time, racing through the snow, tongue out, with a huge smile on his doggy face, if that is possible. It seems he likes the snow!
Ryan took out the GT racer and tried to sled a bit, but the land around our home is really quite flat, so he wasn't very successful. He got cold much faster than his brothers due to the fact that he is a tough teenager wanna be and didn't wear his snow pants, mitts, hat, or coat out and missed out on lots of fun as a result. I think maybe next time he'll wear his cold weather gear.
I do hope that this snow isn't here to stay, although since it is the middle of November possibilities are it's here to stay.

Winter has arrived.
2°C
Light snow
Feels Like -3
I like having a white Christmas but the snow can go away the day after that!

Remembrance Day
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae

Horses and Hospitals
This is her hip:
On a bit of a side note, when she was transferred from ICU to a normal room, the nurse was REALLY pushing her to get up and go. I looked at her and said "What about the bleeding in her brain? is it OK for her to be up?" and the nurse looked surprised and said "There's no bleeding in her brain"
