Snow at the Homestead - Brrrr!

We had snow last week! It was an exciting time for all of us.

We woke up and the snow was sticking to the ground. The chickens didn't want to get out.

Mom took the picture of the mini-greenhouses covered with snow. Can you see the rain gauge on the right? It's the orange looking one. I don't think it's good to measure snow.

The backyard really looked great with all the snow cover. It makes you feel cold just looking outside. Actually, it was really cold. I think it was 29 F and it dropped even more.

Everything looks splattered with white!

Look at the pots covered in snow. Doesn't it look great? The snow looks like they're cotton.

After breakfast, we asked Mom if we can go out and play. She didn't feel like it. But we kept on asking. After a few more attempts, she said ok.

Yay!

We got our coats on, double pants, gloves and wool socks. Put our boots on and went! It sounded easy but Mom had to help us all get ready.

She didn't plan on going out too. But baby girl was looking outside and calling Mom. She got ready and got our baby sister ready. And she went out with us!

Snow Time Fun

Here we are making a snow man. It's not yet done. Mom said it looked like snow mushroom when she took this.

Now it looks like a small snow man. We didn't plan anything for the eyes or nose. But the leaves on the snow we collected went to right spot.

See it? The leaves became an eye and nose. The other leaves look like fingers.

My sister and I went around collecting snow. Dad taught us how to start making balls and rolling them around to collect more snow.

I packed one so good it didn't come apart. But I accidentally dropped it and split it in half.

Well, it's not snowing now. We had fun last week though!

Did you get snow at your place too?
