Snowed in but optimistic

The weather here has been absolutely brutal.  The snow’s been on the ground since November and temperatures are often way below zero, not to mention the gusting winds. On some days though, it is beautiful.

Needless to say, I’ve stayed indoors  a lot – unless I’m walking the dogs or taking pictures, that is.

I’ve kept myself busy making jewelry, soups, bread and dreaming of Spring.

    Great photos!! I like snow, but these negative temperatures are too much for me… It amazes me how tiny songbirds flutter about regardless of the weather.
