Winter Beauty


It looks like we will have snow for Christmas! We got about 8" last week, and another 10" yesterday and the day before. Everything is still and quiet out right now, and the snow is beginning to fall again.
Our four dogs like the snow, but the cat doesn't! Imagine that!
I am on vacation this week, so will have plenty of time to shovel. Hope our kids can make it here for the holidays. Sometimes, they close the roads for a while, due to blowing and drifting snow. Friday was the last day of school until New Years, but school was closed because of the snow. Our son Will loved it! The snow we are getting almost, but not quite, makes me wish I was a skiier.
We are getting things ready for the big day tomorrow. Santa shouldn't have any trouble getting to our house this year!
These deer were in Ketchum earlier this year, back when we thought we might have winter in November. All the first snow had melted before we got our last 2 storms. It will most likely be with us for the rest of the winter now, though. I expect it will all be gone in the valleys by the end of April.
