Still snowing.  Snowed all day.  Right now it is 11:14 and still snowing.  Snowfall warning in effect for Bulkely Valley and Lakes district.  Today was spent mostly shovelling snow.  Dennis has a blade on the quad so does the driveway and road up to the hay shed with that.  The gates have to be hand shovelled - all 6 of them at this point.  There are actually 11 gates but right now we're just doing the necessary ones. 

 

 

My van has the privilege of a covered garage but the truck and land cruiser have to be dug out. 
The dogs seem to enjoy the snow - I wish I enjoyed it as much as they do!

 

 At least we have our wood in.  We did hope to get another cord but who knew we would get a dump of snow this early?  We should have enough wood but can always get more on a nice day.  This picture doesn't show the whole wood shed, but there are about 6 cords in there:

 

Remember that lovely view from the kitchen window?  Well, here it is now.  It will stay like this until April, more than likely.  Winter has come too early this year.  Oh well.  I am going to try to, if not embrace it, at least get through it by getting out on the snow shoes and skis. Plus, I have my handy dandy snow-nut for sliding down hills.  When the lake freezes we will have to try pulling it with the quad.

Oh yes, that picture of the woodshed - you can see the snow has blown in as there is no door.  That is a project we will do this week, I hope.  Since the barn doors worked so well, we thought we would build one for the woodshed too.  Well, to phrase it more honestly, I thought Dennis should build one for the woodshed. 

Ok, more tomorrow.
