More Snow.........

Hello my faithful followers and those that just found me again. It has been a great winter here, as long as you like snow. Lots of snow.
We keep shoveling it higher and higher. Soon I will need a longer handle on my snow scoop.
We had a few days that it warmed up a bit. An icicle formed on the purgola in front of the house. It was huge and beautiful, the way the setting sun was shining on it. Too bad I didn't get a picture of that.
Even along the side of the road it is getting filled up with snow. All the way along from our place to the end of the road, the snow must be piled ten feet high. The snowplow really winged it back the last time.
If we get a lot of wind now, the road will be closed in no time. But what a beautiful winter it is. I just love it. Tim and I are going to do a poker run tomorrow. It is a snowmobile trip. You have to collect five playing card on the way. And the one with the best hand wins a prize. Well, time to get some sleep and rest up for the big trip.

Snow, and lots of it.....

Hello all,

We are having a great winter. Love all the snow we got so far, and more coming tomorrow. I have not seen this much snow in the fields in a long time. Its great, you can go wherever you want. I even got stuck today, so much loose snow, I stopped and that was it, the sled just sunk. So Damaris and I had to put some muscle into it to get it out. Thankfully it wasn't too deep. And with a little pull from Damaris we were going again.

Damaris had fun too, she is really getting into driving the blue sled. Sometimes she comes on with me when we go on the groomed trail.
Andre, you are missing a good sledding season here. Not sure if I can make it to NB this year.

It has been great for sledding as well. The kids thought that it might be fun to sled off the roof. No fun just thinking about it, lets do it they said. And then climb up and do it again.

And fun was had by all.........
