Good that we didn't move here for the warm weather

This morning a little after eight, the thermometer on our car's dashboard read minus six. A neighbor reported his read minus twelve. That's -6F and -12F respectively. Make no mistake. It's cold outside. But at least it's sunny! Over the last week or so, gauging from the height of the snow on the bird baths near the driveway, we've picked up about a foot of the fluffy white stuff.

Fletcher and Audrey love the deep snow. Audrey's favorite sport is soccer. We practice every day, weather not withstanding. Here's a picture of our little soccer superstar, wearing protective boots to guard her tiny paws from the cold.
