Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

A fall in the snow times 3

I thought perhaps I might be able to walk outside this morning but it was not to be.  It was snowing like crazy when I woke up and there was already another 7 inches on the ground.  We ended up getting 10.  So another basement walk.  Finished listening to Rose Harbor in Bloom.  It was pretty good.

We were back outside again today - a repeat of yesterday.  Ken with the snow blower and me with the shovel.
Here is Ken.  I think he got a little carried away.  He not only cleared the neighbors driveway but started on the road too. : )
 I tried walking in the snow and asked Ken to take a picture so you could see how deep it is.
 Then I lost my balance and down I went.  
Nice falling in the snow.  You have a nice soft landing.
 It was hard to get back up and I was laughing so hard that I fell right back in the snow again and then one more time. : )
It was really fun being out in the snow.  This morning when I saw it snowing again I thought, oh no, not more snow, but then I'm glad it did because it was fun being outside in it.

This evening we are going to the Couples Banquet Valentine Dinner which our church has every year.  Since we are new to the church, it will be the first one for us.  It is at a restaurant called Ace's Run which is just 10 miles away.  It should be a lot of fun and we are really looking forward to it.

I hope your Saturday is a fun day.
happyone : )

What fun you had falling in the soft snow and how good your dh did some snow blowing for your neighbors too. I am sure they felt blessed by that.

Glad you had fun in the snow! We've had no new snow for two weeks, but yesterday I walked right across the top of a 3 foot fence on my snowshoes!

Ha Ha. This reminds me of being a kid in Michigan and spending the entire day playing in the snow. How fun that you are still enjoying it!
That is indeed A LOT of snow.
I'll bet your neighbor is very thankful for Ken and his snow removing capabilities.
