Well it is Saturday and it is a snow day at the Bates household. We are weenies weatherwise here in Tulsa. I don’t think it snowed more than two inches all day long but we didn’t go anywhere. Tulsa is just now set up very well for bad weather. I’m pretty confident that I can drive safely but many of my fellow Okies just refuse to accept that bad weather should change the way they drive.<\/p>\n

It was pretty snowy up and down the street. And my thumb is still skin colored as you can see.<\/p>\n

I love taking pictures of lawn ornaments when there is snow.<\/p>\n

I had my favorite snow footgear. My insulated crocks. They are very warm and cozy and I can unsnap the liner and throw in the washer when it is dirty. Of course I haven’t done that yet. I’ve only had them \u00a0for ten years so check back next year. What!<\/p>\n

\"DSCN3085\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My obligatory macro pics. I’m not much of macro photographer. Of course I’m not much of any type of photographer. I’m much more comfortable with being called a picture taker. Most photographers would be much more comfortable calling me something besides a photographer also. So it is a win-win. Especially for those photographers who don’t like thumbs in the pics. We picture takers just take that in stride.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a><\/p>\n

On snow days you eat good. Heather cooked this for my second breakfast and made a great stew for dinner. I contributed also, she cooked and I ate. We make a great team.<\/p>\n

This is Abigail. Don’t feel sorry for her, she doesn’t want in, she wants somebody to come out and play with her.<\/p>\n

Here is the obligatory snow shoveling selfie, complete with some more thumb. No extra charge. No charge for the big ole double chin either. I read that on selfies you are supposed to stick your chin out to avoid big double chins. Just think how many chins I would have if I hadn’t done that. Do you like my new tortoise shell glass frames. I like them. Everybody else goes on and on about how they like them in a manner that makes me think that maybe they don’t like them. You can also see my deviated septum. An old baseball injury from school. Oh well, so much for this.<\/p>\n

This is just to prove that I shoveled the driveway. Not too many people do that in the neighborhood. I don’t know why. My next door neighbor does a good job though.<\/p>\n

\"House<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is the front of the house. Snow has its uses. I think the whole family enjoyed the snow day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
