Snow Day with Wendy's Family

Wendy's sister and two kids came into town, so we spent a day outside with them...

... and then they spent an evening at our house.  Charley had a blast!

This will be the last post for a while.  As I'm sure you've noticed - I let several pics accumulate, and then do several posts all at once.  I'm not caught up again, so - you'll have to wait for the next batch!  In case you haven't discovered it - at the top right of the blog is a place you can enter your email address to have updates sent directly to your email - that way you know whenever there's a new update and don't have to constantly check!

Projects with Trish

Sweet Trish, she bought stuff to make Valentine's with Charley at the store, and came over one day to do them - C had so much fun!

Hmmm, where to hang them?

And one day she joined us outside to paint the snow!

My little birder

A huge flock of Rosy-finches flew into our feeders during a huge snowstorm - first we've had in our yard here in Ruby Valley!  Rod and Charley enjoyed watching them.

I think this has been the second snowiest winter since we've been here - the first year we moved here being the worst.  As I write this, we have another couple of inches of freshly fallen snow, and much more in the forecast.  Here are some pics of some of this winter's snows.

 Charley is REALLY into heavy equipment.  One day Neal let her sit in his lap and help plow after a snow storm.  Here she is, watching Jared plow our driveway.

Enjoying the Snow

As I write this, I'm not enjoying it so much...

We're having a storm that would easily rival the worst we've experienced while here.

However - Charley has had a few fun days in the snow.

 The Morrises took her sledding!  What a thrill!
