Welcome to Massachusetts

I am in a place with true winter. Something I have always desired. And here it is. Saw a fabulous movie this weekend. The Garden. I highly recommend it. And again am feeling a tug towards urban environments. I don't know if it is the city living I am interested in or the diversity the city brings. But either way...my heart was tugged again.

Rachel, this is for you...it reminded me of you...I found it on a dead tree and I believe it must have been caused by some type of destructive insect...but it is rather beautiful!

The Farm in Winter

Something growing on a tree...this does not look good...tonight I will research this interesting speciman...Gabriella told me not to worry, it was just poop.

Snow Shoeing today!

what fun! aren't you glad you didn't spend your daying serving soup & sandwiches to cranky folks?? unknown poop on a tree probably beats that any day...

Hey Kate,

I love your pictures of the farm covered with that beautiful cover of snow. I'm thinking that shot of the barn is taken near the pond??? Beautiful. Could you get another shot with a bit more of the barn? Looks like something that could be redone in water color!

Wow...it really is winter there. Down here I already have my eye toward spring. :)

Welcome to winter! I hope you have a lovely time amidst the snow and trees.

I'm glad distructive insects make you think of me!! Its that need to be against, right? I may be against, but I'm not DISTRUCTIVE! :) Hahaha....no, I'm so glad you thought of me, it is beautiful- very mandala-esque! I will take inspiration from it for future mandalas.
It still feels like winter down here... just no fun snow. I NEED SOME WARMTH SOON.

Looks COLD. Are those trees really alive under all that snow??? It always seems impossible.

That stuff is fungus--one of my bio labs in college involved counting nodules on black cherry trees. It's so good to see the pictures of you with your trees! I miss you here though.
