Just a pretty snow fall

Mike went to India and missed our second snowfall.

They say it doesn't snow much in Beijing.  We have, as of this writing, had four.  Olivia and I missed one since we were here.  These are shots of our compound while it was snowing.

The roadway into the compound.  The houses on the right are inside the cement wall that surrounds the compound.  So peaceful, the snow muffles the cars.

 I am on a bridge heading into the compound.  The people are standing on a pond.....It has been cold the past week but I would not trust that ice just yet!

The flash caught the branch in the foreground making it look like night has fallen.

 Sweeping the sidewalk.  The man in this picture is wearing a suit and tie....not your typical compound worker wear.....I guess he felt the crew wasn't working fast enough!

From the other side of the man sweeping the walk.

Christmas comes to Beijing.  There are many decorations in our compound.

The proper tools for the job? 

You ride your bike no matter the weather here! 
















Workers bikes parked at a rack....

Walking towards my house.  We are lucky to have this nice green-space right out our front door.  I know, it looks white now:)

Our Home!

 Our front gate.


Love, fondly, sincerely,
