Chris and I are going to try and take a picture a day for the year. Crystal told us about this really neat web site on her blog the other day, so we went and checked it out and joined. You will find the link to our calendar on the side bar. Just click on the Shutter Cal logo.
I took the day off of work today.
Our pictures today are of Lake Erie. It is about 45 minutes from where we live. Chris had a doctors appointment near by so we stopped and took a few pictures.
These are of the breaker walls in Barcelona Harbor. As kids we used to do a lot of fishing off of these walls.
The harbor had started to freeze over, but not too much on the other side of the walls.
Once the lake freezes over you will see lots of fishermen out there.

When our alarm went off at 6:00 AM this morning it felt colder than normal in the house. We weren't sure what happened overnight, but we knew the electric was on since our alarm went off. I went in to wash my hair and then woke Chris up. We went downstairs to eat something and it was even colder. We knew that it was supposed to get down to 7 below zero last night, but this was crazy. I checked the thermostat and it said 52 degrees in the house. 52 doesn't sound that cold, but it sure was chilly. Chris went down to the basement to check on the furnace (new 2 years ago) and the burners were not lighting. He came up and checked the stove to make sure the gas was working and it was. So he went back downstairs to check it out. As soon as he took the cover off of the burner compartment it lit right up. He figured that the fresh air intake pipe must have been blocked. After taking me to work he came back home and fixed it. We think a critter may have been trying to build a nest in the pipe. He unhooked the pipe from the furnace and used his leaf blower to blow it out, only finding a few small pieces of bedding. It is working fine now and at least was an easy fix. Thank God I have my own Mr. fix it. Who knows how much it would have cost us.
This picture is of Chris and his father cutting down a tree in their back yard after it was struck by lightning many years ago. To read more about this click HERE and HERE.
With all of the snow that is coming down in our area we thought these pictures would be a nice thing to look at.
They were taken at my brother and sister in laws this summer.
When mom separated some of her plants she gave them to Kim and Tabatha.
I love the pink against the white.
Someone was hungry while I was taking the pictures.
Before it got too bad, Chris and I went for a picture taking adventure.
Some of the areas we went had very little snow, while others already had too much. That's lake effect snow for you. In some areas it was snowing so hard that we couldn't even get pictures.
