The perfect storm?

The weather has been really miserable lately, giving us maybe 3 or 4 days of good weather in just as many weeks. Whenever the wind decides to die down just a tad, the race is on to see if we can make it to the smelly and back before it picks up again. This sounds pretty simple, but since the trip to the smelly is on the slipperiest ice EVER, all the slipping, falling, and especially the getting back up again probably doubles the time. 
At least the sun does peek out from behind the clouds every once in a while..

 

and when it doesn't, we always have the snow patterns on the windows to keep us fascinated..

  1. Really hope you guys have cool window art as well.. a windy "hello" from your neighbors! Hope you're all safe and sound! Despite the wind we have to go out three times a week as well and I can totally relate to all the falling and slipping!

    Cheers to the whole team!! Don't get bored! :)
