Winter on the Western Slope

Our home: The Moon House built 1874. 

Yes, that's our car.

Ready for running.

This has been an incredibly snowy winter. Of course, Christian is as greedy about snow as I am about blackberries ("If we could just another foot"). At the peak, we had about three feet on the ground. We've melted down to about 28 inches in the last few weeks.
 Silas has enjoyed shoveling snow and attempting to ski. The other day he insisted on shoveling in his big rubber boots and nothing else! We've been tried some family skiing in the last few months. It is possible to ski with a kid in a backpack. Priya has napped on the slope in the backpack and Silas skied between our skis. We are looking forward to a long mud season. Lucky for us, mud puddles are just as much fun as snowballs.
