Not a White Christmas...

but a White Boxing Day. It snowed through the day here, though it didn't stick. Nin and I had already planned on going up to Springdale to see the Hobbit in 3D Faux IMAX, so the snow was an added bonus!

Here's the main street:

I always wish I could buy the little sad houses

There's been a house for sale in Rockville (it's the population 300 town between here and Srpingdale.) on the main street, for quite a few months now. It looks so sad and lonely. It was built in 1928 and what you can't see behind the tree is the porch support is sagging.



It doesn't look nearly this cheery now - I don't think it's being lived in anymore. I'm sure when it's bought, it'll get torn down to build a big vacation home for someone from Vegas or L.A. :(, like the one under the cut, which is on the same street.
