These are some photos of our neighborhood, taken during Bubble's daily constitutional.

It snowed again yesterday evening after a day of just-above-freezing, on-and-off rain showers. The kind of weather for which one is just as happy to be inside. I did the laundry, including the bathmats and bedsheets. Today there is just enough snow on the ground to be a nuisance. I don't intend to do anything about it as we are staying in today.
Today's project is cleaning out some of the paper in the computer room. I am always amazed at how quickly we acummulate such huge quantities of paper. I could just bundle it into sacks, but it isn't all catalogues and advertising flyers. There are books in there—and computer disks and tickets stubs from movies and Renaissance Faires. One has to be selective in what one keeps as well as what one throws.
Our quote for the day is from William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. John of Gaunt, in Richard II, act 1, sc. 3, l. 277-8.:
Teach thy necessity to reason thus:
There is no virtue like necessity.

That is a word as a kid I had problems spelling lol ,loved the pictures ,You and Bubbles looks like Kizzie and I me in one direction and the dog in the other....lol love Jan xx
I enjoyed that little browse through your photo album Jan. Bubbles is looking great! You do too.
Tell me..when it rains where does the rain go? Your road gutters didn't seem to have any storm drains. Just wondering.
Your streets look so quiet and wide too. The park I suppose is empty because it is too cold. At least there was a blue sky dry day for your walk with bubbles.
I daren't begin to tidy out my computer room. I hate throwing things away.
That's out of necessity as I might just need them another time. Lol!
