Sixteen inches of snow. Good thing our cat’s trained in snow removal.

The other night while we were decorating the Christmas tree, Mary asked me which was my favorite ornament and I didn’t know at the time. I don’t know if it’s just me or guys in general, but I never gave it much thought. It’s been a few days now and the tree is right next to my chair, so I’ve had ample time to decide on a favorite and I think this little fellow is it.

I can always tell when some teacher assigns “To Kill A Mockingbird” to their class because the blog gets a lot of traffic from kids searching for Boo Radley’s House. The people who used to live in the house moved up the road, posted a No Trespassing sign on the tree in front and  turned the house over to nature. Apparently they value their privacy because they’ve posted a No Trespassing sign on the front door of their new house and added this homemade one, complete with bullet holes, to their field.
