Blizzard . . . . . .

 View from my bedroom window.  I love to feel like I'm snowed in.  In fact we were, really!

 Ken tried to get out of the driveway at 2AM to take wood to mom and Dad's house across the field.  But it took more than an hour to clear a path down the driveway with the tractor!  Then we discovered that the road had not been plowed.  He tried to head over on the tractor, but the drifts on the road were too deep to get through!!  Unbelievable.  

 The kids went out and found the snow up to their waists.  In some places they had to crawl or roll to get around.  Haley found a 9 foot snow drift in the field next to the house.  SMILE

 Front Porch


 Look at the drifts beyond the porch!  Fun fun fun.  Haven't seen any squirrels or birds out today.

 The swing is way down under the snow.  Don't worry Alaina, we brought your swing in weeks ago.

By the way,
Happy Ground Hog Day everyone!  Do you think that we will have an early spring???

So, it took a blizzard and getting snowed in to get you to blog again! Love all your photos- looks like a lot of snow! And a lot of shoveling! Hope you baked some fun things today and are a couch pototoe tonight!
We got about 3 inches of ice and sleet and about 3 inches of snow on top of that. Hope Kyle and Gretchen got some fun photos, too. Haven't heard from Kyle since Monday. They probably have a lot of limbs down out there.
There's going to be a lot to clean up in the spring here for sure.
Stay warm and safe...

Early spring?? You're kidding, right?! I think the snow will be sticking around for a while. So much for global warming...

Enjoy your "snow days!"

Love,
Christine
