Avalanche!

This morning we woke to the snow being covered in a quarter inch of ice. We put out new feed on top of the frozen feed for my little friends and enjoyed the general splendor of it all.

As the day warmed and the ice stared to melt, it began to snow again.  This combination created a unique effect of periodic avalanches all around our yard; as the trees free of their ice bondage dropped their loads of ice and snow all at once!  It was like seeing and hearing quick avalanches all around our us.  However, this did not hinder the boys at all.

After a while they chose to change their igloo location from the forest to beside the driveway.  With dad's help they managed to create quite a pile of snow for their igloo.  They hope to burrow it out in the morning. 

For myself, the dog and I got over our issues (like no proper clothes or shoes) and went for a short walk down the block to take in all the wonders around us.

Another beautiful and exciting day the Lord has made and we were glad in it!
