more snow...

We had another 8 inches of snow + wind that left us stranded once again last week. We knew this storm was coming and bought a snowblower for the back of the tractor so that we could get ourselves out. Unfortunately, the 4-foot-deep drift of dense snow between our driveway and the road proved too much for our little tractor, so we had to ask our neighbor, who was clearing the road with his payloader, to dig us out once again.


The kids had fun playing "King of the Mountain" with dad on the 12 foot pile of snow that our mailbox is buried under:


They made a fun snow slide down one side:


The kids discovered a winter wonderland among the cedars on the south side of our property:

Today it is warm and with 40 degree temps in the extended forecast we'll see how much of this melts. In the meantime, I'm kicking the kids outside to play.
