Definitely back to winter. The sun sure was nice for a while there! Two snow days this week. So much snow. Nowhere left to put it! I was clearing off the greenhouse roof and discovered an ice waterfall about half an inch thick that connected the roof to the snowpack in a few spots in a curving sheet. Unfortunately, it broke before I could get a picture, but I do have a picture of it hidden under a layer of snow.
The greenhouse itself disappeared beneath the snow when viewed from our house, save the upper windows. When I was snow blowing the driveway (one of several times this week) the snowbank started to form an avalanche. I haven't experienced that before, and it surprised me! Glad it didn't get far as this wet, sticky snow that was tough to clear.
Made it three times to the ski hill this week. Today it's time for some backyard snowboarding. Finally going to try and connect the roof to the sledding hill. It's a good excuse to take a bit of weight off the trusses too. So much snow up there. Need to dig out some materials first.
Naomi and the girls had a couple great snow days. Amélie baked an amazing apple rhubarb pie, and Abigail helped me set up an experiment for the bees. They keep wanting to fly to the same window in the greenhouse, so we thought we would mix up some different food recipes for them to see which one they like. So far they don't seem too interested in any of them!
