1st big snow

Well, after fearing we wouldn't get any snow this year, we now have a foot outside. As for most Lewis county people it started on Wed. and really hasn't stopped. In fact in all 20 some years we'ved lived here, this is the most and the most sustained period of snow we've ever had.We love it. Both Doug and I really miss the cold and snow of Spokane where we grew-up. I just hope it hangs around so we can have a white christmas. We are making the most of it, .. building a snowman, sledding, snowshoeing just enjoying it.

scared of the sled after that.
