Peaceful

The snow is falling.
The kids are painting.
The tea is warm and soothing.

A winter's day's peace.

It Snowed!

Well, actually, it has been snowing since Sunday. I think it is about done. I hope it is about done. I shoveled this much yesterday:

I shoveled this much, off part of the driveway, this morning:
and the remainder this afternoon.

and I shoveled this:

off of the end of the driveway where the plow had gone through. I am not sure that the yard stick hit the ground there. The snow was kind of packed. I think it was probably a bit deeper than this shows! I shoveled for nearly 2 hours and I still only managed to clear the driveway and enough of the plow pile to get the van out of the driveway!

I am so ready for spring!
