Weather!

So the weather here has been quite variable.  Sunday was sunny and chilly, but we went for a nice walk with the dogs.  Birds were singing, grass was growing, our radishes and lettuces had sprouted above the soil.  Monday morning I woke up to a snow covered landscape again!  Arggh!  The last few days have been snowy, with lots of hail, and rain.  Yuck!  Oh well.  I try to console myself with knowing this is the last season I will spend in Wisconsin, but the return of the frozen landscape was not welcomed!

I just came across some photos from earlier in the winter.  I finally figured out how to fix my iPhoto, so now I can put pics up much more easily.  Because what is a blog without pictures?  Boring, that's what!

This snow came in mid-February.  All the snow had been melted for several weeks, and we had all hoped it was done!  Yeah, right!  Then it dumped a ton.  I did get a snow day for this, but spent many hours shoveling.  My back was sore for days afterwards.  Pretty though.

Pretty, yet deadly!  They are really sharp!

Nyummy!

They really want to catch more snowballs!

She likes it!

You can see the snow is almost covering the garage!

Snow moving in action

Almost up to the bedroom window!

We had a lot of shoveling to get the cars out!

You can really see how much snow we moved in the last shot.  He is standing in the alley, on the packed down snow for the cars.  We had to move all of that snow to get our cars out.  We actually had to shovel half of  it twice because the first time you shovel it, it takes up all the close space, and then we had to move it again to shovel out the rest of the snow.
