Happy Solstice!

Today is the year's shortest day. To celebrate we cut our Christmas tree at Wahmhoff Farms.

Year-round Kalamazoo

Here's a technology that's new to me: Prezi. It's marketed as an alternative to PowerPoint, but it seems like more than that. The presentation may take a minute to load.

Navigation: clicking the arrow below the box should take you through the presentation, or you can press "tab" on your keyboard.

Snow Day

The first winter storm of the season hit Kalamazoo last night. The kids were delighted when school was canceled.

It's a good day to read about snow science (and see some amazing snowflake photos.)

Snow

While this wasn't the first snow of the season, it is the first snow that really stuck. This morning's Winter white was a dramatic change from yesterday's earth tones.
