An early morning walk on this snowy New Year’s Eve.

There’s something so appealing about walking through virgin snow.

Our cozy home. Snow does such an excellent job of hiding the yard and garden debris yet to be dealt with.

This little guy might be next year’s Christmas tree.

I love how the patterns of the fir trees come to life under a coating of snow.

The snow and the holiday have brought a calm to woods at Downeast Thunder Farm.
