Snow, Snow Patty

Little 3-1/2" Forest blocks
 So we are having snow in early November.  It's pretty unusual to have so much so early -- it's not even winter yet!  Three weeks ago I quit my job and since then I have been acting like life is one big vacation; but it has been very boring.  I have been reading books -- like three or four a week -- and doing chores; I'm not a shopper, which seems to be everyone else's #1 recreational activity.  So cooking, reading, and doing chores, that's my life now.  One chore is, of course, the elimination of UFOs that have proliferated in my sewing room over the past few decades.
What the forest might look like, eventually.
I have dozens of choices, but I chose this basket of little 3-1/2" Forest blocks.  I made a king-size quilt using this pattern as a 6" block back in the 90s and it is a favorite on the beds, especially in the winter time.  What I'd like to do with these is alternate four-tree blocks with a house block that I haven't yet designed.  If any of you out there have a cool house block that is on point and you're willing to share, bring it!!
