And, So This Is Winter; And What Have You Done? (apologies to John)

This used to be the backyard smoking area.
View from the bedroom. This used to be my bird bath.



Why is she keeping a frozen pink balloon?




These are the "stabbers" waiting for the opening of the back door!

The garbage glacier triplets.
Help! Help! I've been gagged by all the snow!
More "stabbers". The postal carrier better be careful.
My poor car.







OK. I admit it. I think bright, clean snow looks pretty. Even my buried car looks nice. But my toes were freezing rapidly while I snapped these pictures. Midwestern winters are a spectator sport for all but the very young or the very poor. Young enough to rely on somebody else to zip your snowsuit or too impoverished to own a snowblower. Could it be a genetic anomoly that makes us stay?
