Buffalo's winter weather has confronted me for 74 years and I'm still standing. We tried the "Snowbird" escape for a few years, but found it wasn't for us. There is something invigorating about braving the chill for necessities and recreation. Returning to a warm house, grabbing the book and the hot tea are all that more comforting. Stay warm, my friend. Keep Millie's paws dry!
I noticed you as the MC for my sons game last night (my son is a basketball coach), and marvelled at your gumption to go outside while I watched the game on HUDL from the comfort of my chair!
What is the history of that small barn to the left of your garage in the picture? Is it as old as the house? Was it a working barn? For what?
What restaurant do you speak of? I'm always looking to find an excuse to go eat some good food in a cozy place in the dead of winter. And this has been a really hard winter!
We love "Shrinking!"
"What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness."
What we call our barn is what’s left of a large barn complex that included stables and a chicken coop. There is a loft for hay, but it looks like it was a carriage house and possibly an ice house because of double hulled walls. The restaurant is The Eagle House.

Will do!
Amen Paul! You captured exactly how I feel.

I love the play on words!
Living in the Southern Hemisphere, I have no idea what snow is like. All the photos look like a fairytale.
That's the attitude we need to survive four months of it!
I wish I had your attitude for this weather!!!
