Snow - A lot of snow!!!!

"Am I standing on land or ice?" My sister Rachel trying to find where the pond starts.
Fritzy enjoying the snow, Charlie keeping watch!! Charlie is the one sitting and Fritzy is slightly blurry, but this was the best picture!!


Deep snow!!


Rachel says Hi!!



It isn't as deep here, but still deep enough.



Last night, I had to let the dogs out before bed. When I got them up, they had already fallen asleep, and out the door, it had started snowing. I woke up this morning and it was still snowing!!! No choir today, sorry Anne!! I was thinking positive!! After everyone else got up, I went out to do the animal chores with Rachel and Jonathan, my siblings, and then we shoveled the driveway. After that, Rachel and I got my camera and a ruler to see how much snow had accumulated over night. We had gotten about eight inches of snow over night. That is on top of a couple of inches that we got on Monday, and the ice that was left from last week. In some places there is over a foot of snow because of the drifts. It is a lot to walk through when your carrying five gallon buckets of water for your horses. Our water heater broke, so now I have to carry out hot water so the ponies have something to drink.
Also, it is very cold here. The windchills are in the 20's and 30's below zero. That's cold, for sure!! We had to bundle up and keep moving to keep from getting too cold. I don't want frostbite, that's for sure!!
I hope you all are staying warm!! Keep safe!! Enjoy the pictures!!

p.s.- In the first picture, it really wasn't that dark, but I had the flash on so it made it look dark.
