Well, I was overly optimistic about the depth of the snow on the driveway. Sure didn't look that bad! Byron shovelled the deck, sidewalk, around cars and the parking/turn-around spot, plus a path to the shop. I managed about 30' of driveway, 10' wide, through knee-deep drifts. He's out doing another stretch of driveway, hopefully all shallower ( Read more... ) -

The Miss has discovered cooking. In her case, "cooking" usually consists of piling some smallish toys in a container, stirring it, and declaring it soup.

Lasted about 15 minutes, then she decided she was done. But she enjoyed it, and there are pictures ( Read more... ) -
