Let it Snow, Snow, Snow!


Can you believe the weather we are having? We have been having so much fun in the snow. John and I took a little "drive" last night all around the county (doing exactly what they have been urging not to do!) We are so naughty.

John has had to clear off RC's chicken roof two times already for fear she would be lost in a collapse. Shorty is having a ball, although he has been naughty too. We decided to go to work on Friday, and let him out of the truck. He started bounding through the snow to attack a large truck at the business across the street. I was most of the way through the retention pond before I got to him, boy was my heart pounding. He loves to jump like a rabbit and burrow his head into the snow. He also enjoys munching the hard crusty stuff.

Our power was fading in and out last night and transformers were popping, but we never did lose power. We have roughly 14 or so inches of snow and it is still falling. John is out sort of clearing the driveway so that it is not a solid block of ice when it starts to thaw. I believe I hear him driving the Suburban now. I think he just can't stand to be idle, always has to be doing something.

I hope everyone is safe and warm and ready for Santa! I wish everyone a safe and healthy holiday. I will try to post a Shorty video soon.

Yeah, we've gone out driving intentionally too. Joel's doing to chain up the truck tonight just to do it, and we're going to go visiting - probably the Domkes to deliver gifts, etc.

Glad to hear you guys are enjoying the snow!!

Just don't let John bring that chicken in to sleep with you guys... I hear he was known to sleep with his pet chicken as a kid.

Thanks for posting Jamie. We are having a blast in the snow too. Our dog Sarah, actually came sledding with us. I wonder if shorty would be up for sledding? You can come try our hill on 7th or 10th. Thanks for taking Katelyn and I on the bus to the mall. Katelyn said the bus was a great way to get around.
More snow expected tonight:)
