{Just chillin' here}

 
So, this week, it's been snowing...
 
 
 
...and snowing...
 
 
Wait, did I say "this week"?
 
I actually meant to say "TODAY, it's been snowing..."
 
 
...and snowing!
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So far we've gotten about 18 inches since last night and they're still calling for more.
 
 
Oh, and the 18 inches -
that's on top of the foot we already had, which is made up of many layers of snow and ice.  
 
Dad cleaned this off and used it this morning!
Imagine what the road he plowed must look like by now!!
 
Kelley just drove the car yesterday!  
 



This is the Lilac Bush!
 
We normally take down our trampoline in the fall, but for some reason this year, we just didn't get it done. Katrina and Kaleb have been shoveling all the snow off, so that it doesn't stretch out the mat and bust the net!
 
 
The IBA truck (tractor and trailer) came today with a load of inventory, and as Kaleb said, that truck got "majorly stuck." The poor driver hadn't even made it to the building to unload yet! Thankfully, dad was fairly close by and came home to help him. It took them 5 hours, though, to get the truck out and unloaded.
 
 Dad with chains to put on the tires, and Kaleb with shovels. 
 
 



Dad went to our landscaping neighbor and borrowed one of his dump trucks. They didn't want to back the tractor-trailer back down into the building, so they just put all the supplies from the big truck into the dump truck.




Getting it all into the building!
 
There is a little sign/sticker on the corner of the roof right there. That's 4 feet from the ground!
 
 
I just LOVE winter!!
