I do love the look of bare tree limbs lined with snow and the views from my study window and also my "Zoom room" are lovely: tons of very old trees, some at least a century old.

What a lovely peek into your world! And it's a beautiful one. I think one day before I get too old, it would be nice to experience a winter like that. I'm gonna have a long, heard ponder about that...

Can you get to your mailbox? That might be a dealbreaker for me. (Not MAIL mail, mind you, but more packages. Mostly packages. Okay, Amazon stuff.) Otherwise, your view (and visitors) look wonderful, and I understand why you're still there. 💚

I still say your home is a dream home for some...namely ME!

Stunning! Love that you had a treat for the doe, and she told her friends so they could come by to add to your scenery, hope you get to stay so we can see more beauty too!

It is beautiful, Ramona. I am not a snow and ice person and I live in the desert now. It’s 70 on the thermostat and I’m cold and wrapped in a blanket. Lol! However, I really do miss seeing deer and cardinals out of my picture window in Ohio. It’s been 18 years. Sitting by a fire inside is a missed luxury too. What a serene place to write. Keep ‘em coming!

Stunning and I think you're an Amazon!

Go you.

I'd be ordering feed for the wildlife as well as propane for you, too!

You are so brave and adventurous. I hope it is a relatively short winter and that you always have some propane to spare, until the first crocuses emerge.
