Homebound

Nothing quite like 2+days without power, heat, and internet, to remind me to be extremely grateful for the abundance of modern conveniences...however with a stash of wine and my sister, brother-in-law, and their kids right next door we didn't spend too much time feeling sorry for ourselves. The first night was absolute bliss as we indulged in some of the more appealing aspects of simple living...

candle light!

family stories

and cozy fires!

And now we're bracing ourselves for MORE snow!
