a life made simple

It really has!
I'd like to say more good then bad but really - there was quite a bit of bad. Not tragic by any means but yet this year had a ton of obstacles. Interestingly, most weather related.
With last year being so cold and snowy it would have been difficult to convince us last January that things wouldn't improve - we all know one bad season leads to a couple good ones - right?!...

Hellooooooooooooooo..................????????????????? Helloooooooooooooooo??????????????
Is there an echo in here?
Anyone there?

Today we went on a little adventure.
We have been a bit homebound and figured it was time to see more of our local community. Our plan for this day was hatched a few weeks ago. We purchased some quark from Nature's Fare - our local go to health goods store. Later, while Derek was eating...

Just as we thought winter was on the downhill slide .... we awoke this morning to what looked like fog but upon closer inspection was a steady snowfall.
And - it's still falling....
Actually, it's good. Things were warming up a bit and melting - the snow was getting crunchy and dirty looking. So - now we have a new dusting and it looks pretty....
