February has been crazy weather around here. Yesterday we hit a high of 65 degrees (almost a record). About 2 weeks ago we hit record lows of -20 with a wind chill of -40!
I like the cold but that was RIDICULOUS! Some of our pipes even froze, not shocking but very annoying. Oh the joys being home owners again. Did I mention a love paying plumbers...I should have become one, I could almost be retired by now!
Once we were at a balmy 20 degrees we went outside to enjoy it:
(that's right -10)
Mommy and Madeline's first snowman we made together.
We have a variety of animals in the open space and trail behind the house:
rabbits live underneath our deck, saw a herd of elk, ducks in the now thawed pond, plenty of birds that live in the brush and coyotes. They don't bother anyone and seemed to be alright with people. Whew!
Anna Kate got to hang out with Madeline one day at school since not many children showed due to the ridiculous snow and cold...but my children WILL go to school! Mainly for my sanity!
