I’m in the final throes of completing the January issue of our magazine, which goes off to the printer next week … which is why I haven’t posted anything here in a while.

In the meantime, it snowed here last Saturday. For our first real snowfall of the season, it was quite impressive … about 3 inches in downtown Lexington. I know, I know … for those of you who are used to real snow, that’s not much. But hey, we’re used to getting real snow only verrrry rarely.

It was, in fact, a pretty snow, and not overly cold, so A.J. and I bundled up and walked over to the Henry Clay Estate to take enjoy the scenery and take photos:

oooohhh ... pretty snow

... and beautiful trees

snow melting and falling at the same time

the snow was really wet, and A.J. (who knows much more about these things than I do) reported that it was an excellent consistency for making snowballs
