This storm beat out the last storm ..... tired of shoveling!

This is a little over kill, but so was the storm! So I will make you suffer along with me! hehe (can you tell we were traumatized by all the snow?) I feel like we live in Lake Tahoe without the benefits of the ski lifts!




Looking out the sliding door. The snow was chest deep.
The swing set....compare with the last snow fall.
Looking out at the beehives! Can you see them?!
The deck.....look how blue the sky is!
May not look like a lot of snow he is plowing, but he had been plowing a number of times before this just to keep up! His left arm was killing him by the time he was finished...poor guy. I see a snow blower sometime in our future :o)
Front walk...Why we didn't have church for 2 weeks in a row......

We did a lot of baking of bread, brownies, lemon bars and soup! Yummmm..... what is it about snow that brings out the homemaking skills?

The snow storm to beat all snow storms

That was some snowfall here! Here are some of the pics we took during and after.

Gordon took a series. He took one shot every hour Friday afternoon into the evening and the next morning.It's a good thing he snow plowed at midnight the night before...this would have been a lot worse!


Our neighbor...his driveway runs the entire length of our property! And I think WE have a long way to plow!
The garden and beehives...The swing set!

The glider swing.
My busy little snow plower!
I know there's a walkway somewhere here......Sorry for all the pictures! But this was quite the snowstorm and there's a LOT of snow here :D

January update

I realized that I haven't posted anything since before Christmas...so it is time for an update!

We went to Bryan and Melissa's a couple days after Christmas so we could see them and their new house. We had a good time with good food,
fun games, and great company! Oh - and did I say snow?? Here are a couple pictures looking out their front window!We also had fun playing with the helicopter he got for Christmas.

I was in the mood on New Year's Day for something yummy and homemade, so I decided that I was hungry from some warm, homemade bread. So is used a recipe from the Lion House cookbook and made this whole wheat bread and sweet rolls. Of course I used my cookbook holder Jennifer gave me and the pretty red pan from Jenny! It was really good. They slid out of the pan a little too easy and made this mess! But it was still exceptionally yummy! I will have to share the recipe with you. If you want it let me know and I will send it your way.

Kelly gave us this cute bird feeder and it is being put to good use! The local birdies LOVE you, Kelly! (the picture was taken from inside the house out of the window...sorry for the fuzzy picture!)

I have also started the red wall quilt for a customer. Here is a sneak peak! I really like the fabrics.
