Lots of Snow

It's been snowing. A lot. I feel like we were short changed on the snow the past two years, but I am satisfied this year!

Tracks on our patio. Squirrel and chicken. ;) Ok, maybe not chicken.

I love a good snow fall. Especially when we're all in the warm house where we belong. When it started snowing the other evening, the snow sparkled as it hit the ground. The wind whipped it around into swirls and created all kinds of interesting formations and drifts. The next morning, our neighborhood came alive with people shoveling and clearing the snow from their cars. Some of the neighborhood kids worked together to build a snow fort in the pile the snow plow made at the end of the street. The guy down the street with the snowblower cleared 3 more drives when he was done with his. Moving from one to the other with just a smile and a wave. Our neighbor &  her son shoveled the drive and sidewalk of the neighbors across the street while they were gone. A couple moms with toddlers took turns pulling their little ones around the yard on a toddler sled. They were so bundled up, I'm not sure how they could bend to sit. We came back in from shoveling, made hot chocolate, and settled in for the day. I guess maybe it's not just the snow fall I love.
