         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons

December 27, 2009:  The trusty yardstick showed 12 inches of snow accumulated at Gilbert Lodge over a three day period starting Christmas eve.

Paula "hunkered down" reading a book in the Lodge Library while Josie the cat is snuggled on a blanket in her lap.

December 28, 2009:  Snowy skies have yielded to blue with a sun not too far above the horizon at noon.

Pine trees are showing off their snow covering against the sky in this Northland.    

Quote of the day:  This is winter in Minnesota.  Mark
