While out taking vineyard photos today, I came across an old house that had been nearly torn apart by harsh weather and vandals. Funny thing is that the house is so far out in the country. It's hard to imagine vandalism happening out there. Bummer. Cool photo, ...

Codi and I went to Sleighbells of Sherwood again to get our Christmas tree. This year, however, we got two trees - one for inside our house and a little one for the front porch. The tree on the porch is pretty cute. Here are some photos that ...
