Winter has finally arrived, with temps below zero. Our dog goes out to the deck, does his business right on the deck, and runs back inside for warmth. Cleaning frozen dog-doo off porch, priceless.

We didn't get to the woods at all this weekend. We've been freezing in our home and spending $400/month on propane, so we spent the weekend hanging curtains. This spring, we'll be doing a whole lot of insulating.
