Winter Wonderland

Gentle Reader,
I have been a little distracted of late because of a certain little someone who arrived last Wednesday night. Scott, Nicole, Bailey and Spencer got here safe and sound after a few delays and I have been busy holding Bailey at every opportunity. But I did take a moment to get some pictures of the snow here. It feels like we are living in a picture postcard! "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening"

"He will not mind me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow...
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep...

The youngsters were very enterprising-- most of our winter stuff is packed away in long-term storage--but Seth found my rubber gloves handy for keeping his hands dry!


Sam taking advantage of the snow and a perfect hill.



It's hard to get a good night picture of the cabin--but you can see how Dad risked life and limb to get lights all around.




We can't wait for everyone else to get here for Christmas!






I feel like I live inside a snow globe--and someone keeps shaking it!

Happy Birthday Scott!
