Snow Day(s) !!

We've had plenty of snow in the past month, more than usual for us here in the desert anyway, with another 4-5 inches falling last night here at the farm. The guys have been doing a good job pushing it out of the lots and clearing our driving areas, and I try to keep the back step and some of the concrete cleared by shoveling. We are beginning to get some good piles!

Besides watching it fall and listening to the quiet it makes across the countryside, snow is for good times.

Here are some of our "good times in the snow" so far this winter:

Just after I quit filming this one, Lou turned around a little too sharply and maybe a little too fast, and Nicholas fell over and did a major face plant in the snow ... Brrr. His little cheeks were bright red after that!

A loaded sled:
Dayna and Thea didn't ride the sled back, but just posed in the photo to show Thea having fun outside too...

After getting back to the yard, Shane "made a snow angel" while he rested up, and the dogs checked to make sure he was still alive.


Trampolines are for bouncing, and Nicholas was tickled to have cousin Danelle bouncing him. I love to listen to his giggles. She Liked Bouncing Nicholas too!

but beware the chilly effects of the snow!

I don't think we've seen the last of the snowfall for this winter, but what we've had so far has been entertaining.
