I've seen a lot of desert pictures on some friends blogs as of late. Being that I'm not in the sand and sun, I thought that I'd share what winter in Ottawa is like at the moment.

1. Christmas tree hunting. We found one.

2. Antique shopping at the Christmas tree farm.

3. The radio said said everyone should stay home tomorrow. Too much snow.

4. See, Katherine picked a good looking tree.

5. Snow day afternoon means making gingerbread cookies. Thanks Kirstie! I helped too.

6. Notice the man (me) in the picture for scale. Yes, those snow piles were put there by hand, not machine, and they will get taller tomorrow.
