  • Weekend Pairing: A Snowy Pennsylvania

    The snow started in Pennsylvania around Thanksgiving, and we’ve had a decently steady supply of it since, so it seems appropriate to feature snowy photos for this weekend’s pairing. Lucky for me, I’m holed up on my parents’ farm this weekend getting a ton of work done and visiting with old friends. It seems a…
