So I am sipping my coffee....

and outside my office window is splashing and a wild commotion! Apparently, a small animal got in our pond during the snow and freezing rain. There are tiny footprints leading away from the pond so I am hoping the little animal escaped. The kids are readying themselves to go out in this and the sleet rain started. Yuck. We did get a tree last night. It's a blue spruce and the needles are like tiny razors. It looks nice and smells pretty. Just don't get any of the veins you need near the branches. If I get motivated later, I may take some photos. Today is the last day for our big Christmas rush so I hope we can get to the post office at some point.
