The tractor won't start



We are supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow by sometime tomorrow. Allison decided to build a snowman. Clarence went outside to take some pictures for me and helped her stack the snowballs to make him.



He convinced her to give the snowman a high five. Let it be noted for the record: she didn't want to.



After that, she had just enough time to do a little sledding in the front yard before dinner.

We'll see if we're snowed in tomorrow or not. I'm really hoping Clarence can figure out what's wrong with the tractor because I don't miss shoveling our driveway by hand. When it's snow covered, the driveway is about 3/4 mile long. In good weather, the length is about 250 feet. I wonder what the scientific explanation is for that phenomenon?

At least now we have a couple additional helpers who weren't big enough to help in the days before the tractor.

  1. Ugh! That is a long driveway to shovel! I believe it gets longer at shoveling time because the depth of the snow has to be added to the length of the driveway...it's a very complicated formula, but you get my drift. Get it? Drift? lol!

    I am hoping it will snow when my son goes to Mrs. Rabe's for Christmas. That will be fun for him!
