Egggggcellent!

***Note, this post was written a week ago, but clearly never posted for some reason.  It seems a little lame to post it now, but I'm going to do it anyway just because the picture is so pretty.** 

Let me show you what it looks like in my neck of the woods right now.  I'm the red X.

Isn't it just positively BEAUTIFUL!?!

I have been very impatiently waiting for this.  My skis, they have been feeling so terribly neglected.  This afternoon the dogs and I headed outside to prepare the yard for all the snow.  Last year I forgot to take the kayak down before the first big snowfall.  Trying to get it down with a foot of snow on top of it darn near killed me.  Who knew snow could be so heavy?  It was much easier this time, and I finished the task with much less snow down my shirt. 

I have been cooking because, well, there's not a whole lot else to do.  If you're lucky, I'll show you what I made later.
