Winter in New England

We may be out of the path of nor'easters, but we still follow the weather in New England with great interest. It appears that there is one doozie of a storm moving up the east coast--and my commiserations go out to everyone who 1) planned to shop today, or 2) planned to travel today. No gloating here--I have had too many plans ruined (or threatened) by dangerous winter storms.

Here is a seasonal photo from my stockpile to remind me of how beautiful the world can be covered by a new blanket of snow. When there is nothing to do but enjoy it, enjoy it!

By the way, did you know that you can enlarge the picture by clicking on it? I just recently learned that myself.

One of my fondest memories of New England is Cherry Brook Farm, located in North Canton. Since New England has just received its first major winter storm of the season, I return to this picture to remind me of how beautiful the winter can be. And I can also honestly say that I was glad to sell my snow shovels and snow blower last fall before we moved!
