So, while everyone else seemed to be outside moving snow around, especially off of their roofs (modern English), over the weekend, I was busy with other things. Then today, with the wind whipping, hard and cold out of the northwest, I decided to get up on my roof. I ended up being on the rooftop, or at least on the top of the highest roof I could actually get to, for more than two hours. Continue Reading...
I agree Lord Byron
There Is Pleasure In The Pathless Woods There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne'er express, yet Continue Reading...
Some Roads Must Remain Open
A little snow doesn't stop us; at least, not for very long. Our 14 year-old was on the ice, Bruins game on the radio, the twins were playing in (as well as eating) the snow, and I was taking care of the fire. The stars were bright in the clear winter sky, and I still love winter. Continue Reading...
Cozy White
I venture out into another cold winter's night, Warmed by memories and this reality of cozy white. Continue Reading...
Thanks for this place
The wind whips the snow against the windows I hide behind Now snow drained clouds drift overhead, flat light I find Then I notice in the distance, blue sky encroaches this scene With it, the cold icy winds bring air so crisp and clean I watch the mercury in red, drop beneath this crystal sky To the Lord I give thanks for this place, warm and dry Continue Reading...
Surprise! More Snow!
It's not a big storm, but it's causing a mess on the roads this morning. We've got 4.5 additional inches of snow this morning. There's just no more room to put this snow anywhere. I'm without a vehicle this week, so the twins and I are home. I'm off to clear the 400' driveway so we can get oil delivered today. Meanwhile, the twins are snuggled in watching cartoons.

Snowy Scene
I can't find my driveway, but this place looks great! The temperature has dropped below zero degrees Fahrenheit here this evening, and it will plummet some more before the sun rises tomorrow morning. After several hours spent with wrenches, a crowbar, a hammer, and a ratchet set this afternoon, I got the impeller blade in my snow blower bent back into shape, along with the casing. I was able to Continue Reading...

Selfie from a snow blower?
Yes, over the last several weeks, my snow blower and I have become rather close. But today I think it went a little too far. After another day of clearing snow from my nearly 400’ long driveway, I thought I was done for the day. Then a beep alerted me to an email I had received. It was a picture message from a number I didn’t recognize. It turns out it was from my Ariens Deluxe 30 in. Electric Continue Reading...
