Completely Puzzled

For our January date we were going to go cross county skiing. I was touched by the fact that RJ even put it on the date list this year considering the fact that he broke his ski and struggled last year. The weather however has not risen above zero this month (there have been 5 school cancellations due to severe weather and one church meeting cancellation). RJ heard about a puzzle competition in St. Paul so we signed up for that instead. It was really fun to do something creative and different. We came up with a strategy but the puzzle proved to be quite puzzling. It was sponsored by Wells Fargo and therefor had a horse drawn carriage in the middle of a snowy winter landscape. There were identical looking trees and braches on each side, white snow beneath and white sky above. For the first time in my puzzle history, I wanted to start with the sky. The other tricky part was that it was a very cheap puzzle and many pieces fit together even if they didn't actually go together. Without a clear picture to help distinguish whether or not the pieces fit,there was a lot of guess work. We did our best for two hours and were sad to leave with an unfinished product but we enjoyed the process nonetheless.
