A few changes........

It was time to finaly get that new family picture on the blog. Before it gets old again.
Life on the farm, what can I say? It is really busy. Potatoes going out the door left and right. Cullage is down. Quite a change from last year. The price is down a bit from last year. So that evens it out.
Outside, it is still snowing. We had more snow this year then the last few years. We also had more freezing rain. That brought us our longest power outage since a long time ago. Our old generator kept us warm for the duration. We tought back, and realized, that it is 22 years old. So I guess it did well.
I hope your week is going well.......

A few more pictures.......

Here are a few more pictures of the storm. The kids were having a lot of fun with it. They figured that since schools were all closed, ours should be too. So it has been a nice slow week for them.All that ice sure made sledding fast and fun. They would almost go right down to the road. And on this side right up to the little house. I'm sure they will remember this storm for a long time. They can tell their kids, back when I was little......now THAT was a storm!
Below you can see by the icicle that Caleb is holding how thick the ice was everywhere. They thought it was quite something. It sure made some awesome decorations.
Above, just going for a walk through the clayroad. Hope there is no falling ice! Could be hard on the head.
A quick look at Klaas and Alice's. Lots of branches down there as well.It was a good thing that we did not get high winds with all the ice on the trees. That would have been a bad combination.
This last picture I took out back. You can see that there is a branch in the top that is ready to snap.
This concludes the pictures of the storm of 2008. I hope you enjoyed them.
We did get our power back yesterday afternoon. On day four. It makes you think of the saying:"You don't appreciate something until you it's gone!"
Have a great week.
