Some days we wake up to a winter wonderland. The ice is so pretty.

Other days it's a winter wonderland in another way! We enjoyed a snow day on Wednesday. The last few predicted storms amounted to nothing here and we were wondering if we'd ever get sledding or skiing again in our yard. The white concrete on the ground is not fun.
The sledding hill has been very active with the new snow and John & I enjoyed breaking trail yesterday with our skis. We'll go around again today and it will be easier.
Yesterday was the pinewood derby for our Cub Scout. What fun!
I've been busy knitting and teaching the kids and keeping up with the plowing. John gets to snowblow! I don't do that. It's been pleasant keeping the fires burning and watching the world from our toasty warm home.
Hope your winter is going as well as ours.

It sure has been a winter wonderland. Very beautiful. Sunday was the sleigh rally that was very well attended beyond expectations!We missed the sledding party across the street Sunday because of the sleigh rally, but there should be more sledding since it doesn't look like the snow is leaving any time soon. Did some snowshoing with Tim & Dee Saturday. Our brief warm-up will be replaced with frigid temperatures for the weekend. Ugh!
I remember the pinewood derby days. Ben looks handsome in his boy scout uniform.
Glad you are enjoying your winter days :)
