What a Little Bit of Snow Can Do!

By this time of winter, we've usually had a few good periods of snow!
Certainly enough to cover the lawns and roads.
But up until the first week of January...nothing!
No white Christmas!

At first nobody cared.
But after a staring at brown lawns and bare branches for so long, everyone started wishing for snow.
My philosophy...if its going to be so cold, then at least we should have some snow to make it pretty!

Finally, on January 7th, the snow started to fall.
And the reaction was pretty intense!
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

It got a little heavier and by dark, there was enough to shovel.
Ivan and Jenelle were entrepreneurial and decided to shovel for Dad to make some money.

 (Pounce didn't make any money...no help at all!)

And since that snow...nothing else!
The temps warmed up and all the residual snow is gone.
It's been great for driving and no shoveling, but we do miss the look of winter.
