it's the the word you are thinking...... S - N - O - W..... it's snowing again. It snowed all day yesterday. It's been snowing all day today. Not only did I have to do my usual Friday-afternoon path shoveling, but i also had to shovel the roof.... yep, because it's not enough we have to be worried about getting into the house and emergency escapes, we now have to be seriously concerned about roof collapses (there was a horrible tragedy around these parts last week). So I spent the better part of the afternoon removing snow from the low-slooping parts of the roof and the shed.
it's hard to tell, but I'm on the left, waist deep in powder behind the shed, trying to get the 1 meter of snow on top down to a manageable height... I cannot imagine what is going to happen when this all starts to melt. I see months of mud ahead. And possibly basement flooding.... yeah!
In crafty news, tomorrow is the girls last week of ski-school. They like to end with a carnival, where the kids show up in costumes. Last year, I missed the boat, what with a new kid at home and all. So this year, I bought some pink flannel and spent 3 hours making them bunny outfits. Because you see, the ski-instructors dress up as bunnies.... Also, with all the easter supplies in the store, bunny ears were readily available. I needed 4 pairs, 2 for playing in the house and 2 for attaching to the helmets. I promise ski-bunny pictures tomorrow, but for now, behold the bunny-goodness that was all over the house today.
the dogs weren't exactely willing participants....
De lurking to ask you where I might get the bunny pattern. Love those outfits. Good luck with the snow.
Cheers,
Cathy

I have never seen so much snow! I think I would be freaking out! You must be exhausted.

That snow is something, isn't it? I don't think that it'll melt until June!
