<p>It&#8217;s piling up! <img src='http://www.dragonsheep.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It looks deeper than it really is on my patio &#8212; the wind is gusting into my corner and leaving more snow on my tables. I opened my patio door wide to take these pics on my phone and enjoy the silence that always comes with snow. I&#8217;ll go out for a walk later when it gets deeper; for now I want to leave my sidewalk pristine.</p>

<p>I have to say that <a title="about Alasdair White" href="http://www.footstompin.com/artists/alasdair_white" target="_blank">Alasdair White,</a> who plays in <a title="official Battlefield Band web site" href="http://www.battlefieldband.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Battlefield Band</a>, is still my favorite fiddler. Not only is he very, very, very good, he also reminds me of <a title="Sean Astin as Samwise" href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0000142/" target="_blank">Sean Astin in the Lord of the Rings trilogy</a> (which means he looks like a hobbit, and that&#8217;s just cute).<br />
