New Pictures!

During our two huge snow storms I decided that it was a great time to go out and take pictures. So here are a few that I took during the last week.



This is one of the homes at Historic Deerfield where I have been working for the past three weeks. I am doing a 6-week internship with the marketing department. So far I am learning a lot and am enjoying my time there. Deerfield is a cool place and there is tons of old Colonial American history, if you want to know more check out the website at http://www.historic-deerfield.org.



This is the building where the offices are at Historic Deerfield.



I wanted to measure how deep the snow was after 2 1/2 hours of snowing last Thursday, so this is how much had fallen, about 4 inches. It was coming down quickly!



This is the front door of our apartment complex, and the 12 inches deep snow you have to plow through to get to the front door.



This is one of the cars in our parking lot after the two storms.

I will post more pictures soon, for some reason the other pictures are not loading.

Snow Day!

Today church was canceled because the roads were too icy and snowy to travel on. We were just recovering from a storm on Thursday where we got almost a foot of snow. Today we got another 5 or 6 inches. It also "snowed" freezing rain which I'm sure isn't helping the roads. Snow out here seems a lot different from Utah. It’s much icier and seems to coat the car with a layer of ice before the powder stuff. Also, the first time it snowed, we noticed that it initially stuck to the roads and not the grass. That seems very bizarre to me. I don't have any pictures, so maybe I'll get Casey to post some later. Casey comments that the snow is up to his knees behind our apartment. Remind me why we moved here?

Gone With the Wind

With all the free time I've been having, I've gotten a chance to read a lot of good books. I just finished Gone With the Wind and although it was a big time investment, it was well worth it. It comes in at over 1000 pages, but is an amazing novel that gives you an interesting historical perspective with characters and themes that are timeless. I just rented the movie at the library, so now I have another 4 hour commitment to see it! If anybody needs a good book recommendation and you have some spare time, or your patient enough to read it slowly over time, I highly suggest trying Gone With the Wind.
