Snow in the Swamp


Sorry, bud, the chickens don't care if it's snowing. They still want to eat.


Hmm, the pool is much less inviting this time of year.




I love our driveway when it snows.

Did you get much snow at your place?

I Live in a Swamp



I often tell people that we live in a swamp. If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I regularly comment on the weather in the swamp. I'm not kidding. It's not a metaphor or a comment on current social conditions in the world. I really DO live in a swamp.




We're on high ground, and most of our soil is quite sandy, so our house is pretty safe from flooding. It amazes even me how much I love where I live. The water is usually very quiet, but when the river is running high, you can hear it moving through the trees. Eerie? A little, but in the most delicious kind of way.
