We were away...

From February 10 to the 20th we were away. We spent two days in beautiful San Diego and then cruised with Holland America along the "Mexican Riviera" on the m/s Oosterdam - all in all, it was a fine time. Above is the Oosterdam as seen from our San Diego hotel balcony. I will try to have a link for more pictures one of these days.

Neighbor's Snowman

Though we've had a lot of snow we haven't seen many snow folk built near us. Today the temperature was about 35 F and the neighbor children across the street built this guy.

Zuppa Salsiccia

Today I made this soup we were introduced to it when we visited JP, Heather, amd Ryan earlier this month. The recipe can be found here.

End the Hate

In the wake of the mass shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others in Tucson, we must end the violent rhetoric that has exploded in American politics over the past two years.

That's why I signed this petition calling on every member of Congress, as well as the major TV news networks, to put an end to any overt or implied appeals to violence in our political debate.

Can you join me at the link below?

Light Snow Today

After all the December snow melting, today we are having a little coating. The prediction is for not much - we shall see.

Happy New Year!

Not a very picturesque start to the new year. The snow is completely gone as we've had warm temperatures - in the fifties F today. Last night it rained so the stream is running strong. The prediction is for the cold to return this evening.

Lizzie!!

Here is the newest addition! Scans taken yesterday determined this is Elizabeth Janette - due to make appearance about May 1. Congratulations to Meg and Zab!

All of Ledge Lane

Here is all of Ledge Lane - looking east from where it begins at Splitrock Road -

Here, at the end at Capstone looking back west to Splitrock.

Only ten houses have a Ledge Lane address - six on the north side and four on the south side.

Tree and Snow!

While it snowed outside we decorated the tree today.

Rudolph did not seem to mind the snow!

Cats - Sleds - Fire

Jasmine and Clarisse like to stay warm on their sleds by the fire!

Today is Jane's birthday!

Keeping Watch

This morning there were two young deer play fighting in the ravine. I couldn't get a photo of them. Nearby was this Mama keeping watch.
