For those of you who didn't know, we had 9 inches of snow on Wednesday! What a sight! We woke up to snow & it continued until mid-afternoon. After discovering the only means of transportation we might have would be the 4-wheel drive tractor (we didn't need 4-wheel drive in the city), Kade, Kara & I strolled to the barn to try it out. So...they rode in the bucket of the front end loader while I drove. A sight for the neighbors, I'm sure. We spent most of the afternoon playing in the snow. Kade was wearing rubber boots with two pairs of socks but that wasn't quite enough to keep his piggies from getting cold. We had to go in the barn to thaw them out. He was very upset as you can see. (The lips are blue from a sucker, not the cold! We aren't that cruel! Oh, & the hair was from his Elmo cap he had been wearing.) If you've ever worn rubber boots in extremely cold weather, you can sympathize. (Notice at the end he says "that's serious!")
It's Saturday & we still have trouble getting in & out at my house. The hills are still a little icy but the 50+ degree weather should help. We've realized there are some changes we need to make in our driveways. Kade & I went to town this morning & it took me four tries to get up the hill onto the main road. Of course my driving skills are a bit lacking when it comes to driving on ice. I'm off now to get my k-cups (coffee). Life will be good again! It always amazes me how a little snow can turn adults into kids again!
