After much argument and consideration, pleading and bargaining, we decorated the tree, settling on traditional colors. It was promptly taken over by the cats.
And snow fell shortly after the beginning of the month and has continued to fall ever since. I've discovered many things since moving to South Dakota, and one of them is that an iPod goes on strike in single digit weather when it's taken outside. Another is that you should always pee before you get in your car to go somewhere, because you will inevitably have to do so as soon as you are five miles from an accessible bathroom (something to do with the cold and my bladder, maybe).
The next pic is of the moon up at about seven in the morning while a light snow is falling.
