It has been a snowy day here. I love a day when it snows all day long. This winter we got snow cover a few weeks ago, and it seems to plan to stay. I like it white until March. Haven't had good snow cover for a couple of winters. The snow pack will kill the grasshoppers and protect the plants from the cold when the temps don't get above zero.

Kids are out building snowmen. They have been in and changed gear a couple of times. Waterproof mittens and gloves are almost done in.

Roads are a mess. Slow traveling now. I doubt I'll see pavement in front of my house for months. But I'd rather drive on snow pack than icy pavement.

I made a big pot of what I call Costa Rican Chicken Soup and pans of fresh bread.
