Let it snow

Winter hit Wisconsin early and in full furry (or should I say flurry . . .?). If you haven't noticed, you've not been watching the news. If you can't tell on your own that there is a lot of snow on the ground, the news is there to pre-empt all daily programming and let you know - that it is snowing.

According to my unprofessional guessing (yeah, I turned the news off), I think we have gotten over 20 inches of snow in the last 8 days.



I think the woolly worm was right this year . . .*






The kids have taken advantage of the sledding opportunities already. It should prove to be a good sledding year . . .

Free Ride

Of course, Owen doesn't sled - he snowboards . . .

Still working on the stopping part . . .

Yeah, that's cold . . . .

Brice apparently left his face print on the hill too . . .

It's the new extreme sledding -
If Owen can go down on his feet, she can go down blind . . .

Look out!

(*Explanation: My dad would always predict the coming winter by the color pattern of the woolly worm in the fall . . .
dark = harsh
light = mild
So - this woolly worm predicts a harsh beginning, mild middle and a harsh ending to our winter . . . so far he is right . . .)

Winter on the farm

We had a snowfall on Friday that left 8 inches of the most beautiful snow.

I'm beginning to see why my mom and dad moved into the country . . . .

















Ryan actually took most of the barn structure pictures - he seems to have a better eye for architecture! I can't always see it. Well done, Ryan!

Oh, I did see family members too - I'll have pictures of them soon.
