Here's that view of Alder Brook, the one I posted a while ago when the brook was flowing. You can't see the brook now--and I have no idea where it is. It's still a pretty view, though. This is what I like about living here, the way the views change so much with different seasons. Ken and I have spent lots of time talking about our need to have 4 distinct seasons. Sometimes we sneak in a thought that maybe we'd want to spend just a little time in a warmer place right about now. But then when we think about it we conclude that we wouldn't want to miss our winter weather. Check with me again at the end of March.
