The Ice Age, as it applies to Machesney Park, Illinois

I am being badgered by my husband and students to write something new as it has been several days since I've written. Let me tell ya, the longer I go between posts, the MORE I HAVE TO SAY. Watch out! First of all, though, I want to post a few photos of the house that I took this weekend. Some of you still haven't seen a lot of the house (and what a sight it is), but I must say, despite even what is now the painfully frigid kitchen after we hung plastic separating it from the rest of the house, I love my home and am proud of the work we have done and the prospect of the house to come... Here are some pics of our northern Illinois winter wonderland.
