There Once was a Girl Named Red

Who lost the hood on her head.
While skipping along, her heart filled with song,
To her Grandmothers' bringing some bread.

I've been meaning to shoot the cabin in the snow. I grabbed my cape and basket, too, for just in case.

So here is the beginning of the story that I somehow missed way back then.

And this is selfie #299 for the record!

Very striking against the snow. Overtime I see a strong red garment like that I think Don't Look Now, which always sends a chill through me. Mind you I suppose Little Red Rooding Hide is also a scary story. Anyway you get a fav for this!

This is excellent Amanda, the red works so well with the snow and that's such a great little house.
