Under the Northern Sky

AND ON OUR RIGHT...

Here is a tour of our home, it's a pretty self-explanatory, but there is a lovely narrator to keep you informed just in case. (The tour is in 2 videos because it kept messing up as 1.)

Life is going along fine up here. We've a bit of a February thaw, the snow is all but disappeared from the sidewalks and is now dirty and depressing, it kind of looks like you feel when you've been sick and have laid around in the same old pajamas for 2 days. And on runs Oliver and I can barely make out the smell of the muddy earth reminding us it's under all the white stuff. I know from our vast experience of 1 other winter up here that there will be more snow for us to shovel and more ice to slip on, because didn't 'ol groundhog promise 6 more weeks of winter (x2 for VT). However, the sun is undeniably sunnier these days and more snow and ice means sparkling sun rays bouncing in all directions. (You can't help but be positive when just a quick jog down the road brings you to a red barn sitting in a field of snow and bordered by a river that is glistening with winter's cloth.) Vermont is cold and frustrating but is also beautiful if you remember to look up off the pavement.

And now pictures of Oliver...and our Valentine's gifts to one another
