Stuck Inside, Playing Chess

The weather has turned rainy (and snowy) and cold the last few days. One of Matt's favorite pastimes indoors lately is chess. He gets anyone who is willing to play with him, and if they're not willing he asks them to play Stratego.  My brain is getting a workout. 

 When it's rainy outside, sometimes you have to bring a little bit of sunshine inside. Forsythia are my favorite, especially since deer always eat my tulips.
