A Little More Winter


Every winter I think to myself "Why do I live here?  Why do I live in the arctic, with snow banks so high you can't see over the tops and ice crusted roads?" 
 
The winter blues have snuck up on me... but it's almost over.  Spring is only three weeks away... right?
 
One thing I love about winter is the frost covered trees.  This morning it looked like delicious cream cheese frosting.


Maybe not cream cheese frosting... I think I am just hungry for cake. 

We were lucky enough to take a short reprieve to Dallas.  It turned into a far more stressful trip than what it was worth.  But, for a day I did a whole lotta nothing while Aaron learned about the new combine guidance systems.


Sitting outside, sipping water, reading a good book, and getting a little color on pasty skin was a bit of heaven.
Do see the moth?  I haven't seen any sort of bug for months!

Running water... outside... in February.  Amazing!  (We don't get out much.)

We returned to the Midwest after a short couple of days, and in between snow storms.



We are hanging in there... trying to get through winter and looking forward to spring!
