Valentine Fondue

How much fun can you have with a bowl of molten chocolate? Plenty. We continued a Valentine tradition last week by inviting our neighbors Mat & Courtney over for a bucket of chocolate! Audra had out all the fixin's, pretzels, strawberries, bananas, big chunks pound cake, graham crackers and even a few macadamia nuts(just to see if you'd had too much wine and couldn't get them on the fork!) but the winner and still champion of chocolate dipping - Aud's home made little coconut cookies(I can't remember the name right now) those things were amazing!

How Much Snow?

These pictures were taken around Christmas - the pics of Lucy in the garden (yes that's the garden) were taken on Christmas Day. We had a ton of snow for these parts - some of our friends that have grown up here mentioned it was the most snow they'd seen in their lives, others said the snows from 1964 were higher. We've been here since 1999, and it was certainly the most snow we've had here at the house.

What happens when the snow melts?  Well - that's the subject of the last few pics.
