Snow, Shovel, Blowing Wind, Shovel, Repeat...

When I think of my childhood and winter, THIS is what I remember! Somehow our winters grew tame (ish) in the last 2 decades. Okay it's three but who is counting?!

Snow you could sink in up to your knees. Being able to tunnel through the piles without first building a huge mound. A fluffy, glittering wilderness.


We've all been enjoying the snow around here, talking with our neighbors as we shovel out, and taking walks.

Discovering this tunneled trail made me want to watch COOL RUNNINGS and buy a toboggan.



I just had to throw her in. :-)

Back inside and reading books.


It's so hard not to nibble on these cheeks. I'm afraid I am without restraint, my son.

I love that awesome trail (also known as a sidewalk) for sledding Natalia got to fly down!

ok, ok, ok. So I didn't look over my post well enough to catch the FLOWER ;-) AND, I might add, we make chick pea brownies, too. ha. Forgive me for being such a negative friend? =)

These pictures are so adorable. They are both so big, and look like so much fun!!

You may have grown a bit in the past 2 (or 3) decades, so snow up to your knees is a taller order. ;o) However, I get your point....

Adorable pictures. I eat Camille's cheeks on a daily basis too. How fun does that path look?!? Love the one of Natalie on the sled.
