Yes, winter can be beautiful, but....

Even for the Midwest, this winter has been brutal....and not over yet. However, there are some beautiful moments, like looking at this gorgeous Victorian house in my neighborhood. Not where I live, but I tell people I have the best view in town!
People in warmer climes might wonder about the car that looks "plugged in" but those of us in the snow belt know he is just keeping his battery warm in the sub zero weather!
And I couln't resist taking a picture of this pile of snow that was built when the parking lot was plowed....hope it doesn't all melt too quickly.
I haven't been sewing for about a month...spending time organizing my studio space, throwing away/recycling things I don't need and doing those darned taxes. Making mental note to keep up with that task weekly in 2009.
