Snow Glow





Thought I would share some of our snow photos. We got so much snow that even Brady didn't go to work on Wed. By the end of the day he shared that he felt a little couped up-I said how do you think I feel? I'm thankful to have the flexibility to work from home but I've been saying this all winter long! The snow is beautiful though and we're hoping to go out for a short walk/run in the neighborhood tonight. Rodi may be the most couped up as she hasn't been on a walk in quite a few days and she has been letting us know how displeased she is by her constant whining.

Blogging Blues

Well, haven't had much to blog about lately. Thinking about spring and longing for some sunshine. Rodi is feeling couped up too-she hasn't been on a walk in a few days. We did frolic out in the snow for a little bit today. The snow makes her frisky. I think I would like winter much better if it were around 40 with fluffy snow on the ground and sun shinning through instead of freezing temps, gray skies and slick roads. January is not all bad as my mom and Megan celebrated another birthday-happy belated birthdays to them. I've been reading a good book called Animal, Vegetable, Miracle about a family who deliberately ate food produced from the same place where they lived and worked, etc. for one year. I think I would have a hard time giving up bananas! Seed catalogs also start arriving in January which also makes me long for time in the dirt. Soon I will be able to start some seeds for spring planting. The farmers market is also starting to buzz with the promise of the upcoming season and who our vendors will be. Maybe an Indiana shrimp farmer? Who knew?

More Holiday Please









Here is a pic from an after Christmas visit with my good friends from college days gone by. And another pic from New Years Eve at the Beef House with our two families. Is anyone else feeling the after holiday low? Winter blues?
