Hello down there
Looking out our front door. I like to peer out to the left when December has done a good job of clearing the leaves from the surrounding trees. Pretty, yes.

Plow pile
Tall and wide. When my dear wife Karen pulled up in our driveway from an outing recently, we found the next-door neighbor kids sledding … at the edge of our driveway on the snow pile left by our plowing company.
