I'm No Snow Hater

Jumping Bean sitting on top of at least 19 inches of snow in the back yard.

When we had the Big Snow of '08 (which, by the way, actually ended up being a foot or two, which takes the fun out of calling it the Big Snow), there were a lot of people who started out excited, and then after a day or two, they were whiney. They wanted it to go away. To which I say, you big wusses!

Here in S******, where I am visiting Alice and the Mad Hatter (previously known as the W's) and family, they have received over two feet of snow in the last month. Alice measured today, and she informed me to today that they only have about 19 inches. This is low compared to what it has been. Rough life for them.

Tricycles make good snow measurement tools.

In celebration of the deep, deep snow Jumping Bean and I decided to have a snow war.

Jumping Bean winds up with a snowball.

Jumping Bean lies defeated in the snow, due to my amazing snow fighting

skills (or because I told him to so I could take a picture. I'm not saying which one.
