Winter snow

January 9th we had our first big snow.  Lee had to get out and shovel our walkways.  It is so pretty.  If the wind would die down I will walk to town today.  First time this winter that I will have to wear snow boots.

 

I am glad Lee keeps in shape helping his brother Eric so that shoveling this snow should not stress him.

First snow of winter 2014-2015

Unlike last winter when we had snow everyday from November to February we did not have any snow till January 6, 2015.  It is 10 degrees and a couple of inches of snow this morning.

 

 

I have been keeping busy this winter by pulling frozen blueberries out of the freezer and dehydrating and juicing them.

 

I also have been cracking the walnuts that I gathered this fall.  I didn't know how easy they were to crack.  One hit with the hamper and they fall apart and because they have dried the nuts fall out.  All I had to do was pick the nuts out of the box.

 

Next year I will be picking a lot more.  No one picks black walnuts they are laying on the ground everywhere in the fall.
