Well, wouldn't you know this year we got snow, then freezing rain, then thunder and lightening, rain and snow again!!!!! It has been QUITE the combo. We live close to my husband's parent's property so my husband has been using some of their heavy equipment to dig driveways out. I have been house bound for some time. Today when we went out people were out in groups working together to free frozen and stuck cars and clearing side walks and driveways. It was beautiful.
This snow/ice mountain is in our front yard. We have a laundry basket they are using to slide down and they are loving it! The neighbors grandchildren joined and that made things even more fun! All four children still loves snow and I am thankful we have a dryer so that I can quickly dry their dripping clothes and they can head out again.
This was his 'ice cream cone' made with ice cream and sparkles apparently.
Our kitten will brave the cold in hopes a bird will accidentally forget she is looming under the feeder and fall into her mouth. She realized quite quickly frantic leaps did nothing. So far all birds have been well fed and safe and she has lot of food inside.
The view from inside is breathtaking and this pictures does not do it justice but you get the idea!
