a place to be
Click on photo to enlarge - © 2009 jim otterstromDuring our brisk morning walk yesterday, Peggy, Dallas, and I left these fresh tracks in the 4 inches of new snow that fell Sunday night. Today is sunny and colder, 0° F when we woke up at 5:30, and only 28° at half past noon.
A nice day to be at home.

We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997. Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well.

I love snow. Very peaceful looking pic!
I see Dallas' tracks headed straight for the nearest tree...
Well, now, Jim, If'n it were only zero degrees last night around here (in Central wisconsin) we'd feel pretty comfortable. But last night it got down to -22 and today a high of maybe 8.
I'm looking forward to this weekend when the daytime temp's actually reach the high 20s. That will be the first time in probably a month and several nights in a row where the lows stay above zero.
Yowza, a veritable heat wave. I'm gonna run around in shirt sleeves!
Mezamashii-
It was a peaceful walk...
Linda-
Yep, he's got messages there and business to take care of. ;~)
DennisP-
Yes, I've been hearing about the extreme cold you folks are experiencing back east, where a 93 year-old man froze to death in his own home because he was $1,000behind on his electric bill so his service was cut.
Very sad indeed...
Stay warm friend, spring is moving our way.
