Evidence of Winter

We had some good snowfall in early December. (Actually, we've had some pretty consistently throughout all of winter, as has the rest of the nation.) We've had several snow days (aka: School is Cancelled-we're still trying to get used to that coming from Utah). Brek really wanted to build a snowman. On this particular snow day, despite mine and Joe's dislike for snow and being cold, we were willing to indulge our little one in a snowy adventure. Sadly, the snow wouldn't pack and no snowman was made. But instead, we had a blast trudging through the snow, and throwing the carrot around, and then digging to find it.

Just a couple days later, I looked out our window and saw this goose laying in our yard. A minute or so later, he got up and walked to the other side of our yard and laid down again. He stayed there until Joe disturbed him as he was coming home from work.
