Smokin', Drinkin' and Talkin'

 -10. Fahrenheit. What to do? The only thing you can do when it's ten below! Smoke, drink and talk!

 The Winter Watchman. When the temperature gets too low, it turns a light on in the house...  So the neighbors know your pipes are bursting.

 This is what spackle looks like.

 Footprints in the snow...

 Paintin' the windows.

 This is a Cooper's Hawk...  aka "chicken hawk".  They eats chickens.

Ooops. This picture is a typo.

Trust and Believe

 Yup, it's not just people killing the planet with their SUVs! Damn dirty dog. Outside of the Home Depot in Rutland, Vermont.

 Our mighty brook has disappeared!

 Marble Street near the house... These "mountains" look like boobies.

 The West Rutland Marsh.  It's badass.

 Shelly, looking like she knows what she's doing.

Matt, looking like he knows what he's doing.

No Fishing, Swimming or Rafting

 The "brook" in the backyard.  No fishing, swimming, or rafting.

 The big pine tree on top of the hill in the backyard.  There's a prize for climbing all the way to the top and ringing the bell that's up there!

 Killington. People ski there.

 Cemetery on Pleasant Street...  Has some really old (dead) people in it.

 Ed's magic "snow blowing" machine.  No one knows how it works; it just does!

 Shelly told me these were Vermont Chocolate Berries (almost as famous as maple syrup), that were magically delicious.  Well, they're very chewy, a bit stringy and have a taste not unlike poop.  Why not come up and try one?  We have plenty for all!

 The West Rutland Liberry.

 So sad... Mr. Pumpkin has gone to a better place.

Run for your life!

Timber!  The neighbors cut this tree down across the street just to improve our view!  Thanks guys! Watch it in the HD on the Youtubes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFwfdl_OvfE
