DON'T let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Well Folks, it's official. . . WINTER IS COMING and the Louderback's are MOVING. . . to ARIZONA!!! Okay, so we're not moving, but we'd like to. It has been FOUR MONTHS to the day - almost - that it snowed here in Idaho. The last time it snowed was June 10th - Ben's birthday. Frankly, that's just not a long enough break from the SNOW. I know, this is a Wyoming Girl talking, but I really like green grass and flowers, sunshine and warmth. Nature has even gone so far as to force us to break out our coats. Which brings us to another sad detail - we had to buy Cadence a new coat, because apparently, KIDS GROW so stinkin' fast that you have to buy them a new coat every year. As Cadence would say, "WHAT THE. . . !"

It took my best persuasion skills to get her to pick this one. It's sad that I made her pick black and pink instead of the pink and pinker one she liked. I wanted black - simply because it doesn't show every tiny piece of filth this girl can collect.

The first moments of SNOW captured. Poor truck - left out in the cold. . . all alone.

I think I have four daisies left. I had to capture their last moments as the snow accumulated next to them.

And ON them.

What do we do when it snows? Go to the DAIRY!! It doesn't seem wise to eat ice cream in the snow, but the rocky road was calling my name. . . it never ceases to calm my troubled soul. . . even if my troubles are from FREEZING SNOW.

This picture is for granma. Look closely and you can see who is feeding the BABY ICE CREAM!!!
