There was plenty of snow everywhere this morning. We had already decided we weren't going anywhere until it melts which is good because I don't know if we could get out.
I finally ventured out after lunch to check on the pellet stove in the shop. On the way I measured fourteen inches of snow on the deck.
Boy walking in this much snow is a pain, I stopped and took this picture of the motor home and house. After filling up the stove with pellets I came up with a way to get temporary twelve volt power to the new heater I had added to the motor home's fresh water tank.
Michelle texted me this picture of the snowman she and James had made.
We really like this picture of them. Michelle said the snowman is really small because it was too cold out to make a bigger one. His arms are pine needles.
The fir trees sure look pretty with all the snow on them. I have been hearing limbs break off so it will be interesting walking the trails once the snow melts.
Vera made me a batch of brownie cupcake for my birthday so I got to start on them a little early. They are sure good with the frosting on them.
This is how the deck looked at about five this afternoon. The power went out again tonight at about seven thirty. With fourteen inches of snow I didn't want to mess with the generator so we read by flashlight most of the evening. I started getting cold about ten so I decided to start the stove. I bundled up again and stopped by the motor home and turned the holding tank heaters on. Then I got a couple of buckets of wood and headed in. It was a pretty good workout carrying them through fourteen inches of snow. Just after I got the stove going good the power came back on so we turned it down and let it go out.
