More Blizzardlyness

Boy oh boy...did I need this day to rest and catch up on things.

Slept in until 8 o'clock! When does a mother ever get to do THAT on a Sunday?

Cut or trimmed 5 boys' hair...no easy task with an anemic clippers, but everyone of the guys looks quite spiff.

Made bread! We'll have some tonight with the homemade apple butter.

We also watched Ethan's birthday movie, Night in the Museum, graciously supplied by Jason. Somehow.

Ma ventured outside again, just at dusk. I left my lens cap off this time, which helped the ol' fingers considerably. The winds have died down to 23 (they were up to 29 earlier today) and the barometer has risen to almost 29.9! Whooee...can spring be far off?

You'll pardon the tinting applied to this picture. I felt it helped define the lines of the drift.


Looking down the road towards the north.
Every gravel road in northern Iowa--and there are "several"--probably has 3 or 4 of these places, per mile.

Looking south.
There's plenty of snow on the west side, to drift over with every passing wind.

Hafta admire the extraordinary sculpting ability God has given the wind.
Many drifts were so tightly packed that Ma could even walk on top, without crunching through. Hardly.

Talk about your industrial strength snow!

I sure am glad I ran to town and got extra milk on Saturday. No telling when these roads can be plowed.
