December Warm Spell Continues

Regular Bradley classes have come to an end for the semester, and now we are in final exam mode. Looks like we are in for a green/brown Christmas this year - we joke that it is because I was given a used snowblower and bought a new snow shovel and have lots of firewood thanks to that walnut tree we cut down.  Yesterday we Christmas shopped around town.  Today I did some nature therapy: fossil hunting and hiking in the woods (I wore blaze orange in case there were deer hunters in the woods).  At one location I found some iron fasteners from an old mine.  Many of the fossils I found in the shale were wet and fell apart easily.  I found a waterfall I had not seen before - one of the biggest I have seen in our neighborhood.  Tonight, Katie and I went for a walk to deliver cookies to the neighbors and look at Christmas lights - note the streamers of fog in the picture.
