Step aside, Kinkade. Here's true Winter Wonderland (dial-up warning)
So, winter has hit here as well. It started on Friday with some snow, which was just covering the ground, and a weekend with blue skies. This morning again, it started to snow and hasn't stopped yet.

And that's how it looks right now (and now, I'm not going to sit in the chair there) :

7. It's not a Forrest,
it's just a hedge and some small pine trees. ;) But how cool would a whole Forrest look like full of Xmas lights?

Thank you! :hi:

20. Well, it is,
Edited on Mon Dec-21-09 04:29 PM by Call Me Wesley
except for the little lights there was no additional light source. And it's pitch black here in the night, especially when you can't see the other side of the lake (because of the snow right now,) and there are no houses in front of us.

Oh my, does this mean, if you ever come to visit, I have to put up some fake lighted up city panorama? But you can see the milky way! :rofl:

You are very clever, methinks...

Both you and Heidi are so lucky to have each other!
