Day 74 – Shovelling

Hubby’s birthday is tomorrow, so the kid and I shovelled the driveway for him. I thought the snow would be light and easy to shovel – boy was I wrong.  It was raining, so the snow was heavy, but ice underneath. We had good intentions but certainly did not live up to the job he does. Hubby had a great laugh at me using a shovel taller than I am.

Note our good intentions at the top of the driveway…..by the time we got to the end we were exhausted and only managed to make it wide enough for the car to get through. 

It is the thought that counts, right?  Besides, surely this will all soon melt, RIGHT!

Day 51 – Yes, even more snow

Yesterday I heard that we have had 8 feet of snow fall since November.  I am not sure if that statistic was before yesterday’s snowfall of over a foot but today we got another foot or more, as well.  I know many are saying “enough already”….but it sure is pretty.  And skiing was incredible tonight.  Soft snow and warm -1 celcius….just perfect conditions.

BBQ anyone?

Charley likes to watch people shovel from inside the house.

And from various spots, too.

This spot seemed pretty safe.

Although this one was ideal. I am sure she would have been on the table if I had not been around.

TGIF tomorrow!
