Oh the weather outside is frightful!

We've had more snow this year than I can ever, ever remember. Pretty sure we have about 30 inches on the ground (where it hasn't drifted) and well over 3 feet in other places. Good grief, you'd think we live in Buffalo! Enough already!

Having said that, I like living where there's "real" weather...so here's a reality check:

Our house in three seasons.

And scanning across our backyard:

Patio Party anyone?!

********

No Garden Parties in January!

********

Our fishpond is still there, so far as I know!

(No worries, the fish are living it up in their winter home

--an aquarium inside.)
