We had some snow overnight, which turned into rain later on today. The rain stomped on the snow, and all that's left are a few icy remnants.
The photo is one that I could get any day of the year, rain or shine. Phil is always sleeping, but provides a reminder to everyone who comes up the front steps what home and family really are.
He came to us after the fire, and he was placed there the day we moved back into our home after six long months away. His name is "Phil" after our contractor, who understood our situation and really took care of us -- leaving our home a much better place than even before he arrived.
With Phil, the contractor, we knew that our house was our home even when we weren't living there. With Phil, the gnome, we are reminded of the same -- even if the girls have moved out and live across the country, they always have a home here.
