First Snow

Well its not technically the first snow for us here on the Country Estate, but its the first snow to stick. Amidst all the busy-ness I had time to take stroll in the woods on the land on the Egypt Road this afternoon after church:


View looking Southish along Egypt Road towards Ben Brook


A spot near the northwest corner of the property.

a stream about 300' in from the road near the northeasterly property line

Wags, himself walking amongst the trees.

Largish rocks.

Can you see the photographer's shadow?

Well, I've been all alone here at the Country Estate (boo hoo :( whilst KT is in Dallas for a conference relating to home visiting and parenting education. It was a consolation to know that it was cold there too. No sunny warm vacation for her!

Stunning

Greetings,

A few empirical statistics on this site.

And people are still surprised that we have no television....

KT just got a book called Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television by Jerry Mander (no his name is not a joke...), 1978.

I just got two books. A little architectural history, the classic Big House, Little House, Backhouse, Barn by Thomas C. Hubka. A study of the connected farm buildings of New England.

I also got Starting and Running Your Own Small Farm Business by Sarah Beth Aubrey.

Back to the land. Need I say more?
