I’ve had a few technical difficulties in uploading pictures and videos. Things are figured out now, so I hope to post more in the next few days.
First, we’ve had a good bit of snow this winter. Last winter we only got about 18 inches of snow the entire snow season. This year, to date, we’ve gotten 51.5 inches. Yep. Fifty-one and half inches of snow so far and we haven’t gotten to the end yet. We are close. As of the end of March, all our snow in the low lands has melted. We’ll still get a few mornings of small dustings. We are due for a few inches next week.
This particular sledding day, the temps were in the 40’s and it felt like summer! The girls weren’t even wearing their snow suits.
Clara and Ruby each got new swings for Christmas. Almost every evening before the sun goes down, they BEG Matt to push them on their swings. Even in the cold temps and snow.
It’s an experience.
At the beginning and even the middle of the season, the girls would get excited when they would see the snow. Not just because it was snow, but it meant that would earn some money….the big change.
Each time they pushed snow off the porch, they would earn 75 cents. We all figured out that its super east to push an inch of snow than 5 or 6 inches of snow. We’ve done it so much that we have an order and a routine that everyone follows.
In February, the big money was no longer appealing and snow on the porch in the mornings produced groans from all.
(I don’t have too many pictures of pushing snow. These are taken from the inside, obviously. The camera will fog up when taking it from a 70 degree house to the negatives outside.)
Life goes on here, even in the snow.
