It has continued to snow this week, with snow on Thursday all day, and Saturday afternoon and night. This morning there were about 6 inches piled up with a thin ice crust over the top. We set out to attempt to clear the walk (not owning a snow shovel, we had to use the hoe, garden shovel and broom for our tools) and ended up spending more than 2 hours out working and playing with the snow. After a warm-up and a little lunch, Adelaide is headed out with her dad for some sledding at the park in the snow that is falling again now.
It's a relief today that the weather has warmed up enough to have a young child outside. The adults have been fine walking long distances to get out and lessen the cabin fever, but the 20 degree weather combined with icy roads has been very restrictive for our little one.
I am a bit concerned about the next few days, especially given our need to get to the airport to pick up Grandma tomorrow. But I'm going to work hard to let my worries go and live in the moment.
I certainly was able to do so for a while this morning, when igloo construction took priority over everything else. At least now we have more than one house in which to be housebound!
