We're still working on our website/access issues on our blog, so in the meantime I thought I'd post some recent pics and a video of Becca here.

Haiku - dah winners!
This was part of a contest at PSNH...
There were two winners declared.
I am pasting in, below, the two winners ... as well as the 'honorary mentions'
Some of the initials/addresses may be familiar to you! (NSM: I'll forward your prize to you! I.M.: I laugh out loud every time I read yours. Apparently it didn't win over the judges!)

Stayed too long and stole our warmth

Cold snow soft, heavy
Branches crash wires drooping low --

Rainfall I can take;
Ice falling, if I have to;

Autumn wore snowshoes
A scarf and long underwear:
Frozen pipes at dawn
