Month: March 2009

We make our own peanut butter.  It is healthier for us (no trans fats, nor indeed added fats of any kind), tastier (we use cashews along with the peanuts), and does not separate like commercial “natural” peanut butters (we don’t grind it as fine).  Here’s what you need to do the same:

Snow fallen on, um, white pines (not cedars).

There’s nothing quite as effective as graph paper and cut-outs at figuring out how to fit furniture into a space.

Why am I playing around with furniture?

Because we sold our house!!!

We signed Purchase and Sales agreements for both our current Southboro house and our soon-to-be Newton house today.  We await final financing commitment for ourselves and our buyers, but at this point we are on track.

On our first ride up the lift on Sunday, some guys were clearing off and setting up a mogul/freestyle run.  They also made a snowman.

I especially like the pine mohawk, moustache, and chest hair.

We had excellent weather at Sunday River both days — warm and sunny, though windy.  Here’s an example of Saturday’s views.

Ski with Leach this weekend!  And here is Leach herself, who kindly picked me up on her way up to Sunday River.

There’s nothing much that I like better than a good stout.

Tracks in the snow.  Car, people, probably an animal or two.  All will melt soon.

He may appear normal in this picture.  But tonight, Parker…

… is crazed.  He’s on the prowl for something.

In like a lion indeed.  Nor’easter today; about 10″ of blowing, drifting snow.  The birds were out in force at the feeder today, including Mrs. Cardinal here.
