Snow!

It's a perfect day to be snowed in! The fire is warming the house, the Christmas lights are sparkling on the tree, Christmas carols playing in the background, cookies baking in the oven.

Erica and Aidan have been outside on three separate occasions digging forts and playing in the new snow. The birds don't seem to mind the wind and snow. There were a dozen flitting around the bird feeders when I woke up this morning.

I took this cool shot of the garden shed from the Hearth room--with the lights on the Christmas tree reflected on the glass door.

 The wind was really whipping the snow around and we were glad we didn't have to go anywhere. Not that we could get into or out of the garage...

We'll dig out tomorrow, or later today. For now, we're hunkered down!
