Last night the snow started around eight. I had trouble sleeping, perhaps in anticipation of going out to take pictures. The snow was lovely this morning, and after getting dressed and gathering my camera equipment I went out to take pictures. Fortunately the roads weren’t in bad shape at all. First I went to Lake O’Donnell, then Green’s View, followed by a stop at the big chapel in the center of campus. It was a nice start to the day. The pictures below are just from my phone. After returning to the cottage for breakfast I went to the storage unit. Unfortunately the lock was frozen shut. I went to the lumberyard and bought some potion to unfreeze the lock. It didn’t really work. I took that as a sign to go rest at the cottage for a bit before driving home. The roads weren’t bad at all. I went by Big Box to check out flooring, but neither Zach nor Alan were there. Back home I played with Luke until dinner time, and then we cleaned up afterwards. I hope to get to sleep early tonight.

Luke was up pretty early this morning, so everybody else got going as well. We went to the park at Port Royal for a while. After lunch I went into town to look for some flooring, but Zach’s place was closed. I drove up to Spring Hill and visited the bookstore and Home Depot before returning home. Luke and I worked on a couple more projects including installing a board and hanging curtain rods in his room. He was pretty well behaved today and went to bed without trouble tonight.

I got a better night’s sleep last night, thankfully. This morning I cleaned the house a bit, ran errands all over, and did a little office work. This afternoon I cleared some trees in front of the house and where the septic lines will go. I left the cottage around three and drove home. It was good to see Luke and Liz. Luke was pretty amped up. Liz is putting him to bed now.
