Stopping by the Woods

We woke this morning to the first real snow of the season.


I took my camera with me on our post-breakfast trek through the woods and snow, to our neighbor’s house to feed her birds (chickens and ducks). It’s probably for the best that my batteries died very early in our outing, if they hadn’t, I fear the birds may never have been fed! The flakes were still falling rapidly when we set out and we were all mesmerized by the glittery-mistiness that transformed the well-known trail between our homes.


Today turned out to be surprisingly productive, on the building front. Several windows went in on the first floor and our telephone pole has been erected! We didn’t know when they would be coming, so this is a pleasant development. Hopefully we will be able to hook something up to it sometime in the near future. The roof is complete, save for one more panel, destined for the section shown here… covered in snow…


That picture was taken at B the Builder’s urging, by the way, we’ll just chalk it up to his off-beat sense of humor…

I’m hoping to procure this book from the library, once again tomorrow, to share with the littles by the fire.

One thought on “Stopping by the Woods

    These snowy pictures remind me of the book “Stranger in the woods” by Carl R. Sams II and Jean Stoick. What a beautiful image I have in my mind of children walking through the snowflakes to see the chickens and geese, Very storybook! :)
