It’s a new year! It’s my birthday!<\/p>\n

It snowed a couple inches last night.<\/p>\n

I got back from a walk to our neighborhood gas station this morning with a cup of coffee for MizSplotchy and a half gallon of milk. I retrieved the camera from inside the house so I could take a picture of our pretty, snowy street.<\/p>\n
