Hi there Evelyn (and all), Sure is a beautiful picture perfect looking day here on the "Florida Peninsula" today. The trees are loaded with flowers and palm fronds with everything showing as we haven't had any snow yet. <grin> With darkness falling around us, WOW!! what a magnificent sight to behold with the beautiful lights of all different colors decorated around every home and glistening in the setting sun. The temperature is fairly nice approx. 20 degrees {centigrade} no wind at all. It's now beginning to look a lot like Christmas here on "The Cape" <smiles> This is just another beautiful day in history. Happy Holidays Everyone Matt (in Cape Coral, Florida) > Hi All; > Sure is a beautiful picture perfect looking "Christmas Card" here on the "Avalon Peninsula" today. The Trees are loaded with snow all over, just barely any green tips of the branches showing, approx. 15 cm. of fresh snow fallen, but has now stopped snowing. With darkness falling around us, WOW!! what a magnificent sight to behold with the beautiful lights of all different colors decorated around every home and glistening in the shimmering snow. The temperature is fairly nice approx. -1 degrees {centigrade} no wind at all.

Our weather embraces DIVERSITY. It is the only place where you can both swim and ice-fish all within the same day, in the same body of water here in "New-fin- LAND", ask Brendan, he can verify this statement<smiles> Happy Holidays Matt Evelyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Mullaly" <2matt@rogers.com> To: "Evelyn" <ewoudenberg@roadrunner.nf.net>; <NFLD-LAB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2003 6:40 PM Subject: Re: [NFLD-LAB] "PICTURE PERFECT CHRISTMAS SETTING" > Hi there Evelyn (and all), > > Sure is a beautiful picture perfect looking day here on the "Florida > Peninsula" today.

Evelyn, To paraphrase someone or other: Beauty (and snow) is in the eye of the beholder, And after 65 years of walking in it, driving in it, shoveling it and cursing it, I can't say I miss it one bit. And a happy holiday to you as well my friend. Matt > Hi Matt; > You just envy us Newfoundlanders now <grin> with the beautiful fresh > snow for Christmas.

Matt, I did everything with the snow as well<smiles> with the exception of cursing it. I would much rather be a "Salt Water Cow-Girl" and playing around with my snow blower at times which tends to make me feel oh so fresh and revived, than sit in the hot spots or beaches, but it's different strokes for different folks<grin> I guess. The warm Spots are ok for a week but then back to the snow for a good cooling down again<smiles> I guess I must be Newfoundland's own "Polar Bear". Seriously Matt, I hope you enjoy your Christmas Holidays and I hope Santa arrives in his warm suit<big grin> Have a Good one and good Health!
