Baby, it's cold outside

In case you missed this photo on Facebook.

We were fortunate and escaped the worst of the snow. It's also a good thing to have a snow blower and a spouse who willingly takes on the job of clearing the driveway, walks and dog paths. Ben and Jerry have become truly house dogs and dislike the snow and cold and really couldn't manage without those paths. They're ready for spring. Something else to be grateful for—not having to get up and drive to work when it's a mess outside!

Ben, the photogenic one.

Just signed up for a potager class in March with Vicki, the 577 horticulturist, and bought tickets to go to Florida in March with Becky for our annual trip. This year we are visiting college friends, Terri and Bob, in Cape Coral, near Fort Myers. It's been about 30 years since I've seen Terri and about 20 since Bob came out this way. It's my year for reunions. These events will be my harbingers of spring.
