Patio "Closed for the season". - a photo on Flickriver

Patio "Closed for the season".

            I well remember my younger days when this would have been an invitation to don a parka, set some snares, gather some firewood, dig a snow cave and get ready for a BBQ on the patio.  Now, in spite of the fact that I know I have a fat groundhog living under this patio, I prefer to shoot with a camera from inside the house and be grateful that I'm warmer than the critter hiding under all this snow.

This morning, I was even grateful for the 4 wheel drive that let me cut through all this snow to drive to a great breakfast of bacon and eggs and hot coffee.  It sure beat chilled "ground-hog"!
