<\/a>Tiny dry snowflakes accumulated yesterday, giving us a couple of inches by our house, and many more inches further up on the slopes. The ski resort must be deliriously happy today.<\/p><\/div>\n
The snow kept knocking us offline yesterday, or the clouds.\u00a0 Something was definitely wreaking havoc with our internet connection.\u00a0 Today we have clear skies and once we brush off the solar panels, we will get great solar gain on our power.\u00a0 There is no hurry to get outside however, as the sun won’t begin to touch the panels until around 11 am.<\/p>\n
<\/a>This light fluffy snowfall did nothing to weigh down the branches on the pine and fir trees downhill from our house. It just makes them look like flocked Christmas trees.<\/p><\/div>\n
One creature in the woods is deliriously happy about the change in the landscape.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Snowshoe Hare blend in perfectly with virtually everything around them, now. This particular bunny was running joyously past the front deck, leaving his foot prints as a memento of his passing.<\/p><\/div>\n
Inside the house it is business as usual.\u00a0 Dan built a fire in the wood stove in the living room, and later today we’ll build one downstairs in the laundry room wood stove.\u00a0 It will make the batteries happy and better able to store and retain the power from the solar panels.<\/p>\n
<\/a>"Cats don't play fetch." This is his motto, mouse evidence notwithstanding. Amazingly, he hasn't gotten tired of his game and his toy mice can be found in every room and under most pieces of furniture when I do vacuuming.<\/p><\/div>\n
Yesterday while it was snowing, I spent hours finishing the knitting chart on my computer.\u00a0 Hurray!\u00a0 It’s done and everything lines up.\u00a0 Any mistakes will become apparent while I’m knitting and I can adjust the chart to fix it.<\/p>\n
