Where Have We Been?

First, my apologies for going missing from Columbia County Current. The fact is, I’ve been out of the county for a while and as such, didn’t have anything to blog about.

I’m finally back in the county and on the blog and ready to go. I’m also ready for Spring. Don’t get me wrong, I love the winter – it’s one of the reasons we moved to Columbia County – but I’m ready for some warmer temperatures and a little color in our surroundings.

What about you?

My Country Home: The Study

We are slowly but surely getting the study in order here at our new house. Eventually, this room will have a corner lined in book shelves and lots of heavy wood and leather chairs. For now, I’ve got my home office set up with a fire going and I just looked out the window to see that it’s snowing … again. It has been about four days since the last heavy snowfall so I guess I should have expected it. Thank god I bought a case of wine.

I’m not sure if you can see the snow in this picture but this is the view from my desk here in the study.

Uh-oh, I better throw another log on the fire.
