Should have stayed at home…

Had a little snow over the weekend. Kind of made me feel as if I’d landed in the middle of a real life Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer production:

Much to my surprise the deer were not put off and showed up at their usual time for dinner, though they too were covered in snow…

It was clear this morning but very, very cold. Is it any wonder I was a little worried about visiting Minnesota at this time of the year??

Very cold day


That reads somewhere around -20F, by the way.

I suppose I should have taken a hint and stayed at home. I don’t have any pictures to show you, but my vehicle went ice skating on the snow crusted gravel road where my dad lives and we ended up in a snow bank after doing a couple of graceless spins. Fortunately an angel in a red truck pulled up shortly after and pulled us out without much comment.

Much more excitement than I needed today!

    Are the kids enjoying the snow? Think of the pics you’ll have to show when you get home! Enjoy, Jenyfer!

    The kids love it! They are actually spending more time outside now than they do here in the summer time!
