The Joy Of Winter

Sledding! One of the great joys of growing up. Makes a fella wonder what kids do in the regions where there is no snow fall?  They're missing out!

Of course, so are the moms and dads who don't have to clean drive ways and sidewalks from the frozen flakes of gold!

I say this on a day when our family spent some time outside after worship today shoveling snow back onto our driveway after yesterday's melt!

Why?

Because we had to have it pushed off by the neighbor with a plow on the front of his truck and there are more rocks in the snow over the grass than there is left on the driveway.  Not a good thing when it gets to be time to mow.

Anyway, yesterday, we invited my sister's family over for some sledding.  The adults wisely stayed inside after lunch while the 5 kids plus the neighbor's boy slipped on the slopes.

I love how much area they covered!  Our yard is 150 feet wide and they violated nearly every foot of that spread in about 3.5 hours.  

Nice work!
