I enjoy winter. Christina really enjoys winter. We don't mind the snow or cold. I really dislike the slushy wintery mix.

Ho Hum. I do enjoy being outdoors though. Better outside in the cold slushy than inside in the recliner.

Ordered school pictures today. Holy Crap prices are outrageous.

Not sure how a company can have a photographer with a high school diploma taking pictures and then charge more than a professional studio for prints.

It seems there is always something that needs to get done outside this time of year.

Leaves are done. I have been pondering cleaning out beneath the lilacs. I have done so since I moved here. After working my way between the4 lilacs and the fence I found various odd items including what looks like a pan and one looks like some sort of tent.

Not the can of worms I wanted to open. The stray plastic bag or paper is one thing. Who dumps stuff like that.

So I figured I should check my backups. Of course I am behind.

Backup the backup

I started burning DVDs of the pictures, videos, etc. I have several months to do. Argh, bad Derek.

Christina and her pumpkin.

And one with the pumpkin lit up.
