The mountain had disappeared into the clouds
When you hear 'Snow Day' what do you think?
Curl up under a quilt with a good book? Sew? Do a little baking? Sit by the fire?
The answer? None of the above. Although I did spend time by the fire.
DH came in at 7 and said he was burning the brush piles and would I please monitor the one below the house while he went to burn others.
So I slipped into shoes and went out in my jammies. It wasn't very cold - 29 and it was super toasty next to the fire
Once it had burned down enough, I trotted back up to the house and changed into real clothes, grabbed gloves, donned my Stormy Kromer hat, threw a shovel over my shoulder and climbed into the Can-Am next to Skeet. DH had 7 piles burning
and we went around with a pitchfork and shovel
tossing outlying pieces into the middle
Not a great picture, but I had been working and that fire is hot!
Skeet has always loved the snow
At 9,
he still acts like a puppy
when the ground is white
It was an absolutely beautiful day
And I think we'll sleep well tonight!
