Let it Snow!

This is the view driving up to my Dad's this weekend. I love this kind of snow, cold, powdery, flocking every tree, it is beautiful. The roads were all good, and the drive was uneventful. It has been snowing pretty much constantly since we got here. We have been shoveling, plowing, sledding, cross-country skiing, and keeping the fire going.

The kids went out on Saturday and played on the creek. It was well below zero so the ice was thick. They kicked all of the snow off of the log that crosses the creek and then tried to make holes in the ice. I think Mads got her foot through. Of course she didn't tell me until the next day. Some of the kids are up at Rick's parents. They called today to see when I wanted to pick them up, I told them in the spring. Their driveway is icky.

Dad's poor little tweety house is almost buried. There is a lot of snow, but it is really light. I'm just thankful for a warm fire, lots of cookies, and hot chocolate. Let it snow!
