Thanks New Hampshire Home Magazine @nhhomemag for giving me the “parting shot” in the January/February issue.

With temp around 20F and a light snow falling, it was a pleasant walk this afternoon. 

Usually, New Englanders don’t complain much about the cold.  It’s winter, after all, and you get used to it.  They also don’t complain much about the snow.

Looking down from the top of the pasture today, the farm had a real Currier and Ives look to it with smoke from the wood stove billowing out of the chimney.

Cold New Hampshire mornings and a little light snow falling are enough to put you in a holiday mood. Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

Last week was a beautiful December week. A little snow brightened the landscape. There was some gorgeous light, both from the Cold Moon in the sky-the last full moon of the year- and from the morning light that streamed through the windows.

Molinia arundinacea ‘skyracer’ is such a beautiful and elegant grass against the white snow.

An early snow brightened the landscape during Thanksgiving week.

It has been brutally cold here in our little corner of New Hampshire this week with a wicked wind chill. Great for making snow, however. Something the slopes are happy to see given the temperature roller coaster we have been riding most of the winter so far.

At this time of year, many New Englanders share a common purpose: Getting firewood stacked and under cover before the real winter weather hits.
