It's been snowing for days. The Forest Service guys have done a great job keeping the roads and driveways clear but I'm sure they are also ready for the storm to pass! There are piles on top of piles everywhere in our little compound.

This limb came crashing down yesterday evening in our front yard. Even though several came down throughout the compound, no homes were hit, thankfully.


The trees do look beautiful with all the snow! As it starts to warm up, they will start dropping the snow out of their branches. You never know when you'll be hit when you are walking around outside.


All summer, the boys use a little tykes table to get on the trampoline. As you can see, it is almost totally buried under the mountains of snow. The rocking chairs are also buried, again.

There isn't much clearance for the swings right now, either. They will be covered before the night is over I'm guessing. We are suppose to get more snow on and off through the next 24 hours. I can't remember ever having so much snow!


During the last storm, the boys put a piece of plywood on top of the little tykes fort so they could have a snow fort. I'm surprised it didn't snap under the weight. Today there is so much snow out there that they don't even want to try and walk through it. I'm afraid if they went outside, we may never find them again! Maybe we'll all go out tubing later today or tomorrow and really enjoy all the fresh snow as a family.
