out of my boot

I went to put on my ultra-snow boots today (one level up from my regular snow boots and two levels up from my boots, three levels up from my normal walking around shoes) because I went out to fill the bird feeders. Since my yard is pretty much full up with snow, I dug a [...]

three feet high and snowin

How about that, we got something like three feet of snow. I am in the odd habit of saying “we” about things here. I used to think it was a holdover from living with other people, but now when I say it, it just feels like I’m the spokesperson for Vermont, or my town, or [...]

snowy valentine’s day

I made this picture last night. I don’t have a lot of weird associations with Valentine’s Day one way or the other. My Dad sends me pears in the mail which arrived early and have already been eaten. It’s a really lovely snowy day outside. Maybe I’ll go out and get a piece of candy [...]

momintown

Hey my Mom is in town! She’s asleep right now and even though I grew up in a hideously cold house, I have turned the thermostat up a few degrees just so it’s maybe not quite so icy here. We had one of the neighbors over, a guy I met through Ola named Chris, and [...]
