Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

We have been getting some decent snow for the first time in about 5 or 6 years. Started yesterday morning and stopped about an hour ago. There's supposed to be more coming. I am loving it, though I know it has got to be a hardship for many people living further north. So far we have about 3-4". It's crunchy, it's crispy, has some ice on the top, and Lucy cannot quite work out what to do with it all :)

Lucy and her snowball

So we had a little bit of snow. Just enough for Nik to make a nice size snowball which Lucy decided belonged to her. Then she and I played catch. I should really have had my camera at that point to get a picture of her racing round the back yard with a snowball in her mouth. We kept going till there was nothing left :)
We did get more snow after this picture was taken but what you see is what had the kids out of school for 2 days :)

Happy New Year 2010

Happy New Year to each one of you. May it prove to be a productive start to a new decade.

The last day of 2009 saw us having our windows replaced. The weather held up fairly well. Now we just have to repaint the shutters and re-stain the front door :)
