Let it snow, Let it snow,Let it snow!



We are experiencing our first real snow of the season. We have had flurries off and on all day, though the accumulation hsn't been more than a dusting. Still, there is a very light coat of snow over things that make it look very wintery, and very pleasant, I might add, though my Snow Bird dad might disagree. I imagine he is glad he is down south now! This pic was taken early this morning, though it looks like night. We were taking it through the window so it did some weirdo stuff to the lighting and reflection, but you still get the idea... SNOW!!!!



Of course, it is impossible to feel anything but cozy when it is snowing without, and warm withing from the woodstove. Dh and children have been stacking but not all of it is going to fit inside, so Dh is fixing up some pallettes next to the house for the extra wood. We'll get it stacked and covered with tarps, and use it up as we need to. Here is a pic of the woodstove we have been blessed with, and someof the wood we have been stacking.







Next projects on the list for the family is to prepare for Christmas, and of course the baby! Both will hopefully keep me busy enough to keep from getting too restless these last two or three weeks.

Aw, I'm crying now...thinking back to the good old days of our courtship and first few months of marriage bringing in the firewood for the house we shared with my father in law. Aunt Vicky cooking a big supper to feed the dozen people that ate there every night...Can't believe it's been four years already!
