Snow pictures. I do not venture very far from the porch. Can you see the snow fort Julia is building on the left? She and Sandy stayed outside for hours.
Our neighbors' house. We look down on it from our patio, and I always like the way it looks. It's especially homey with the smoke coming from the chimney. We have no fire this weekend b/c we have no dry or old wood. We're piling it up for next winter, though.
