What a Winter!

Now here is an Idaho Winter. It has been a long time since we have had one of these. This is a Winter the kids are going to look back on and say "remember when..." The first picture is of Scott's pickup after sitting outside all night. I took the shot after I had swept the snow off of it but I had to shovel a little path to get there. This is one of the days I wish I had four wheel drive. I opened the garage door and didn't think the Van would get me out of the drive way so since Scott had the day off I ended up taking his pickup whic his lame because I had to dig it out of the snow first. If I still had my Durango, I could have left right away and made it out of my drive way. This is a picture of our swing set. Notice the slide..The snow is right up to the top of it. There are no swings to be seen which makes me realize I probably should have taken them off and put them in the shed. The canopy is missing from one of them...bummer. Can you find our mailbox? We can hardly either thus the hate mail the mailman leaves. From the front it looks a lot better. I do believe ours is the best paved path now that we fear the mailman. This is the veiw from our sliding doors to go out on the patio...we won't be going out on the patio any time soon. This mound has made a nice spot for veggi trays and pop that I couldn't fit in the fridge for the super bowl party. I may miss it come summer. This shot is from my front door. Scott is standing in front of our stairs. It took us awhile to dig out of this one but I am proud to say you can now come and visit us. This particular pile of snow was donated from the roof. I am glad it isn't all still up there. There are a few roof collapses occuring here. Mostly in sheds, spud cellars etc. but knowing my luck it would be my house. Spring will be welcomed here any time. Scott did borrow Dad's four wheeler with the plow in front as of yesterday so I guess it can keep on snowing. At least I won't have to listen to Scott complain about shoveling anymore.
