Our House


Despite the date on this photo it was actually taken yesterday (3-6-07). My sister had asked me to take pictures of our new house (also our first house) so she could see what it looks like. Her husband is in the Army and they live in Arizona. We've lived here almost 2 months.

Rock Ice


We went into Nashville today and on the way in there are these amazing rocks along the side of the road, and when it is wet and cold we get these beautiful icicles coming out of the rocks. I snapped this as we drove by I cant believe it turned out so clear!

No, there isn't an ATM in the stop sign ;)

It's advertising the fact that the restaurant in the strip mall has one available. As does the grocery store next door, the gas station down the street, the bank, etc....

This is the same tree that was covered in Christmas lights and snow on the 1st of December. Now, no lights, but it's covered in snow once again. The flash picked up some more snow that was still falling at the time.

Here's a quick way to melt the snow - just leave a washing machine discharge pipe on top of it. You'll have no problems clearing your path. Just make sure you have somewhere to drain the water, otherwise you'll have a bigger problem. ;)

I picked up this travel literature way back in 2001. I still have it, despite throwing out a lot of other stuff this day. Interestingly (and quite logically I'll add) the "Getting About Britain" guide is in proper A4 size.

This is what happens when you pick up the paper until the next day - it gets covered in snow. It used to be that the paper was reliably here around the same time the mail came. Now, if it comes before 5pm it's a good day.

No, it's not a treasure map, it's just the tracks in the snow from my dog. However, if you were looking for, well, you know, I'm sure that those tracks would lead you there.

Having no leaves means the sun gets through quite easily, and it also makes an interesting photo due to the shadows off the branches.

Kind of a "Stuck in the middle with you" scenario here for the Cigar store. Then again, they don't need too much space for their wares, and since they don't have such a large roofline, the rent's probably cheaper.

Ahh, fresh strawberries. Well, not exactly; they're frozen ones from the store. Pretty good tasting, but a little soggy in eating.

Yay! Here's the box to my new flat panel monitor. Definitely the last time you'll see this box all together. ;)

Traffic flows on the main road while we wait for our light at the side road.

Being unusually warm for January, these folks decided to let their pup pop his nose out the window for a sniff of the outside, at 50 mph
