6 and 6

There's a fun little taggy thing floating around where you're supposed to go to the 6th picture folder on your computer, post the 6th photo, and blog about it. So here's what turned up on my computer:

In the winter of 2007-2008, we were still in frosty frozen Wisconsin. It was an awful winter (although I hear this past winter was worse), but our pup sure loved it. She'd bury her snout in the snow and snort happily, and loved stealing snowballs from our gloved hands. Seeing my old backyard in this photo makes me feel a bit nostalgic for our little house in Bay View, with its screened-in porch, tree-stump table, and the sweet neighbors who passed fresh garden vegetables to us over the fence in the hot summer. Of course, on the other side of the fence we had psychotic neighbors who were constantly screaming at each other, playing rap music, and throwing shit in our yard. But I try to forget that.
