I confess I'm a tad jealous. Although, we actually got FLAKES last night in
Beaufort, SC!!! It was cool. I knew it wouldn't stick, but it sure looked
pretty coming down. But, supposed to be 68 on Saturday and I'm looking
forward to that too! LOL! Got a foster dog on Christmas Eve. Her name is
Avery, after a Christmas Elf. She is too cute, learning to play with my
Vidalia. Those of you on facebook can see a picture of Vidalia in her elf
suit for Christmas. LOL! It's hysterical!  I hope everyone had a fabulous
Christmas and will have a happy new year!!!!!!

We had a true white Christmas. Started snowing on the 24th and by the  
time it ended Christmas morning, there was 4 inches on the ground. We  
get orioles up here in the summer, though they mostly confine  
themselves to the woods. Perhaps the one you saw was simply late to  
start migrating, and was passing through your yard.
