Settling Down for the Rest of the Winter

With the holidays past, now its just winter. We moved the front porch holiday tree back to its spot near the creek again. Something will likely find it to be a nice place to live.


It's snowing again, this has got to be the snowiest winter we've had in a LONG time. Yesterday was a beautiful day, and in the late afternoon, while watching the Packers play in what may well come to be known as the snow bowl, I wanted to see if I could capture the atrium with the snow falling outside and the TV screen reflected in the window. Not too bad a result, certainly gives a sense of what it feels like to be in our kitchen in the winter.


The creek is running high and fast, since we have had lots of precipitation and the temps have stayed near freezing. Some winters it freezes up and dries up completely, but not this one yet. I scared up a couple of ducks while taking these pictures. Life goes on.
