Finally....SNOW!

Yesterday we were finally, very late, hit with a snowstorm. It started in the night and kept up all day long. We ended up with about 5" with the airport reporting 6.4". Its not much really but since we didn't have snow most of the winter it was a bit surprising. Maddie and the kids were very excited though because it meant they could use the sleds! So we spent about an hour outside this morning just going up and down the hill and up and down the hill and......

A junco in the apple tree during the storm. The birds were very put out with Mother Nature!

All the bird tracks....

Up....

and down.....

and up again

Poor sprouts!

Then we came inside so Maddie and I could make a meat pasty from her book on the Industrial Revolution. So I taught Maddie how to make Mamaw Mary's pie dough recipe. While she worked on that I made a filling of onion, carrots, ground beef and peas. They were very yummy and well received by everyone! 



The snow has now mostly melted, at least on our sunny side of the street! The kids will be out of luck tomorrow with the sleds but at least we had one round!!
