This is from last night when it was dark and snowing.
It was cold, but it is so nice to be out in the snowstorm to take pictures. I carried an umbrella to protect my camera and it helped.....but was a lot to hang on to, especially when a phone call came and they brought the house phone out to me also. :)
It was fun for the kids to make the paths in the storm - the guys were waiting for the snow to get deep enough to start the plowing, so they worked hard here while they were waiting..... :)
Looking at the snow from inside the house is much more cozy that being out in it.
It looks so calm and peaceful at night - it was still snowing, but the flakes don't show in this picture.
My kids had a "great idea"......no hills for sledding on the property, so....they made one. They stacked lots of snow on the stairs of the deck and made a trail for the saucers.....the funny thing is that my husband said, "Let them go ahead and do it." :) They put a board on the steps to protect the edges of the steps and then lots of snow. They have had SO much fun out there......this picture is before the snow quit. The snow continued into the night.........and after all were inside, I found out that one son had iced the saucer hill, which concerned me....after all these are the STEPS-he assured me that the one side has no ice-that is where they walk up to slide :) .............then snow continued to fall. It did look like so much fun - I wanted to get out there and sled also.....but the family kept warning me not to as I am still recovering from a foot injury that has taken months to heal and still troubles me at times............it is tempting though. :)
This morning, the snow is done....just blowing...and it is cold. We have been out taking pictures this morning and the kids were still sledding.....sure looks like fun.........After taking lots of pictures..........I went down this hill on the saucer.......yes, it hurt to have to sit cross-legged and pull my foot in.............but it was really FUN! :) I love surprising my kids...........and my foot isn't any worse, thankfully. My husband thinks I am crazy, though. :)
Like I said........a LOT of snow..........finally enough snow to satisfy the kids!
The wind made some interesting drifts.....
It is much colder than it looks.........My guys are doing plowing and shoveling in various places - the girls and I did a double driveway by ourselves to help out............we are TIRED and I am ready for spring!!! :) We all agree that we don't know how the guys do it.......and there was so much ice under all of the snow.....
I liked the design of the drifts.........
So many interesting things to look at.......but now I am content to stay inside and keep the food hot for the guys.........chili for lunch as soon as they came home.............and cooking Homestead Hamburger Soup for supper.
We are enjoying the snow.......and I am so glad that we finally got enough to make it worth plowing. I do hope to get out in the next day or two, to find other interesting things to photograph.
Lots of snow..........hope you have enjoyed the pictures. Thank you for visiting the blog.....come back anytime and have a great day. :)
