cold weekend

I really like this house. It's one of the houses I included in my Picture Westfield portfolio. It looks quite festive in its holiday decorations.

It was very cold here in New England this weekend. I walked down to the library yesterday and took out a couple of movies: The Time Traveler's Wife and The Lovely Bones. Both based on books I had read, and both, I imagine, difficult to make the transition to film. I think both did a pretty good job of it, 'though I liked TTTW better of the two. The girl who played Susie in TLB is remarkable; I can see a long career ahead for her if she chooses to stay with acting.

I went for a somewhat shorter walk today, because it was just too durned cold. It never made it past the upper twenties. :::brr::: I'm not ready for winter! We're in the stretch of darkest days now: although the Solstice is Thursday, the days don't start actually getting longer until the 26th. At least we've passed the earliest sunset already.

I'm looking forward to the return of the light.
