Another Abandoned Blog? Nah.

I look back and read this, and it makes me sad. Ok, not "sad" really. More like "Why did I stop posting?" This blog was originally started to share improvements we make to the house and yard. That all kind of came to a halt when the decision was made to sell the house. We are currently looking for a new house, and it will be kind of funny if we don't buy in Belchertown (given the blog title and all), but I look forward to many posts about things we do such as home improvement/trips/events/birthdays/holidays, etc. I guess the blog title still applies as long as we are still here, so why not, right? Ok. Cool. Hang on while I grab the camera for a couple of quick shots...

Ok. Just took a couple of shots of the snow in our backyard:

People here do a lot of complaining about the snow and cold weather, and it is easy to see why. The thing a lot of people miss is what is in the background: Look at that beautiful blue sky. Before too much longer, this tree will be budding, then covered with leaves that provide great shade for our dogs in the Summer. That blue sky reminds me of the beautiful, warm, sunny days to come.

All of this snow will soon be replaced by a beautiful green backyard where our daughter plays, we cook out on the grill, set up an inflatable pool, do yard work, eat dinner together on a big blanket, and plant veggies in a small garden we built behind the shed.

Another shot of the snow. It is receding and will soon be gone. Regardless of the season, this is a beautiful town, and I love it here.
