More Snow Pictures...

Are you sick of these yet? I am getting pretty close. If my kids didn't like to play in the snow so much, I would be really over winter already. We had another 25 cm of snow yesterday and some high winds again. It is rather interesting to see how the drifts form because the wind seems to be from a different direction each time.
I liked the look of this drift behind the BBQ.
 The tractor and snowblower have certainly been getting a workout this last while.


Reina was surprised by the height of this drift. All of our cars in the building by this drift.
 Wilbert's parents are currently in Uganda visiting Jander and Tiffany. We have been checking on their house every day and I thought I better include some picture of what their house looks like.


 The road is pretty one lane right now, as there was still a lot of blowing and drifting today. We are pretty impressed with our plow drivers though. I still have no reason to go to town. Though I may need to head in tomorrow to pick up some parts that Wilbert needs.

We also have a small flock of mallard ducks that have been hanging around our farm. They found the corn silage and decided that it was a great source of food. While Wilbert now covers up the end of the bag better, they still hang out too sneak a bite while he is loading up the silage to feed. But they were struggling to find shelter yesterday in the storm. Here they are hiding out near a tree.
Well today as nice and tomorrow is supposed to be nice too. Saturday we have a little system coming they say. It could bring snow and rain, so that will be rather interesting. Tomorrows big job is get the snow out of the valley on the barn roof. Time to move it before the snow gets heavier.

The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass by Katie Powner

A fter years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling.
