First flowers in our front yard. Pity they were covered with another snow dump the next day.

It is hard to garden at 8000 feet up. If it is not the snow, the rabbits and deers feast  on these as their spring 'salad'

What's more fun than having a snowball fight on the second floor balcony

of Farfar and Farmor's mountain retreat?

Would you believe we cleared all that snow the night before.

Nice to have a backyard for  snow angels.

Snow has not let up at this point -- so much fun relaxing in soft snow.

Day after Christmas, 2010

Lots of snow.

So you think you have snow? This is the beginning of the enormous amount of

snowful we got in the high sierra. Thank goodness Jeff Perry cleared our driveway.

Bjorn and Erik are ready for it.
