The Arrival of Winter

Damn if it didn't happen. Winter is here. Yesterday it was beautiful outside with sunny skies and a temperature of 55 degrees. Today it's snowy with a brisk wind and 12 degrees.

We are settling in and really love our new (old) home. Almost everything is different from our previous home - no more forced air heat, we heat with hot water and cast iron radiators. We now have 2 more floors than we used to have. We have a dining room! But still the most spectacular feature is the view of the Mississippi River. Yesterday I took a few pictures of the riverboat Twilight which is docked just downriver of our home.


Not a bad view eh?

But that was yesterday. Back to reality and back to snow removal. Oh... and I want to wish my beautiful wife the best birthday ever! I love you.
