What do you do with lots of Snow?









Go sledding of course....





And the Dog has to come too....


Good fun was had by all!



And then you walk home.....for an assignation with the Wood stove, Supper and a good book! (or Downton Abbey for the Grown ups ...bliss)

That's our neighbors front fence ...this Winter we have quite a bit of Snow :0)

  2. We haven't seen a bit of snow here. Well, there was that small bit in October. Otherwise it's been more like spring...strange. I'm hoping it will stay that way till we fly out of here to NZ. Don't want to be snowed in. Fingers crossed. :)

  3. Wow! that's a whole lot of snow. I'm guessing the novelty of making snowmen is wearing thin! We're still keeping our fingers crossed for a bit more snow. Just not that much!

    1. Actually Cheryl, crazy as it may sound, we rarely have the heavy wet snow that you can make snowmen with! This stuff is real fine,light dry powder that swirls and billows up into the air when the wind blows hard. It's squeaky to walk on when very cold. Totally beautiful to look at too :0)

  4. Your heavy snowfall was even on the news here; and we never hear anything about Alaska.
    Can't imagine how you live with all that snow.
    We have a hot and sunny day today, my cats are keeping cool under fans.

    1. As it's too cold to take the pup out to play and he's already "wall of deathing" off the sofa.... I think a bit of Sun and a big snow free field, would come in handy at the moment :0)

  5. The wood stove and good book bit sounds wonderful .... I might be tempted to fast forward over the sledding part !

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
