The storm of the century–a true lion in many locations–was a mere pussycat here in the southern Ozarks, for which we are so thankful. We had a layer of freezing rain, coating every surface, then an inch of sleet, finished off with a couple inches of snow. Not bad, considering how folks in Chicago and points east are faring. Not even bad enough to keep some folks home. And since our yard has a hill perfect for little folks to slide on, they were off!
What joy!
Mommy and Addie!
Chip wants to go….
So we let him have a turn.
My favorite red for the day!
Time to warm up, so inside we went for a cocoa break…..
Marshmallows are the best part!
Back outside for another episode, Wyatt’s angel is a good one….
so, of course, Addie Dear must try to make one, too.
Poppy came home and got the real sled out…
Lean into the curve!
It’s getting dark and much colder by now, but Wyatt and Daddy got in one last run, all the way to the gate! Loud cheers echoed through the Almartha Valley! Then we went inside for enchiladas and oatmeal cookies.
It doesn’t take a LOT of snow to have a LOT of fun!

Don’t think they could have done this on our 24″. Did you all get the -14 real temps this morning?
Oh! that looks like so much fun. That is one of the many things I miss about snowy weather!
I am so glad everyone had a great time.
That does look like fun. We are spending the night in a truck stop near Texarkana, Arizona.
Your family is definitely having more fun than mine! It’s too icy here for outdoors.
I know your world is not perfect, but it’s pretty dang close! Your photos just kept getting better and better. The ‘real’ sled. I love it. And moisty chocolate cake is now copied and pasted into a word document. Thanks, Janet. I love it here… every time!
