Photos here from Sunday. The Valley had a bit of an ice storm Friday night/Saturday, and I spent the weekend on the Hill with cousins Randy and Lisa (and another cousin, Kim, from across the road.) Lisa made chili and pepperoni rolls (YUM,) and I bought a red velvet cake from the Pastry Shop in Yorkville—nice little place--that we nibbled at throughout the weekend. Very casual. The Lifetime movies about the I-5 killer and Drew Peterson succeeded in terrifying Lisa and I while Randy was in Wheeling for a few hours.

Sunday morning the sky was blue, and my car was covered with ice for about two hours. But the sun warmed everything up nicely, and all of the trees were bare by early afternoon. For some reason the pine branches have me thinking of haiku. Maybe I need to work on simplifying.
