Our Winter Wonderland













So this is our new home and what it looks like in the winter. We really enjoyed experiencing living in the snow...even in a storm, it is so peaceful and serene. It has a way of making the dead things of winter come alive with beauty. The boys and I even enjoyed shoveling the snow off the walkways and throwing salt out to keep them from icing (I was scolded by the mail woman when it wasn't done and then she gave me a quick lesson on how to do it when she realized I just moved from AZ!) The view from my kitchen window looks out onto the driveway, but in the snow, even a driveway is beautiful! You can enjoy the view too watching Steve leave for the train in our new van.

The picture with the pine tree close-up is taken from our front door and is the corner of our yard...notice the traffic lights in the background and, if you look even closer, you can see cars driving down the highway just past the hill. Between the highway and the traffic light corner, we were initiated pretty quickly to living in a suburb of the City that never sleeps.

What fun! I grew up in what looks like a neighborhood like that in western NY. I love and miss the 4 seasons. I'm glad all is going well with homeschool. I can't wait to see more. Beth T

Hi Mrs. Ward! It has been a long time sense I've seen you and your family. :) Those are neat pictures of the snow, I wish that I could play in the snow with you and your family also!

I hope to seen you soon!
