Much of last week looked exactly like the one before that .. grey and even more snow!
After a day or 2 of reprieve, during which the snow had all melted away and we actually saw some sun, it started coming down again early on Thursday morning and although the flakes weren't very big, there sure were a lot of them!

                                

It took only a couple of hours until everything was neatly covered up again and by coffee-time we were once again looking out onto a beautiful white world:

I went for a nice walk up the road. It's a lot harder to walk in the snow especially with my snow-boots so I have not gone for my usual longer ones this week, but it was still so pretty and felt so good to be out in the cold, fresh air!

 

                                                     

As you can see, the road dips up and down the shallow hills and the property we're on is similar 'hilly'.
Just perfect for .... sledding!

Serena (our landlord) has several sleds and invited me over for some back-to-your-childhood, good old fashioned fun!
(At least, it was for her, my childhood was of course spend in Holland, which is as flat as a pancake, so I had never done this before ..)

                                                                        

And fun it was! I had a ball! That little slope there turned out to be rather steep and we gathered some unexpected great speeds.
I'm afraid I might have screamed like a girl going down!

Here's a few of the prints I found around the RV.
Snow is a great give-away of who's coming by in the night like raccoons, coyotes, rabbits, mice, dogs, lots of birds and of course .. me:

To brighten up the dark days I brought home some daffodils from when I went grocery shopping on Wednesday, the one dry day of the week ...

            

Most of the days I spend inside though, nice and warm and cozy, working on several of my (way too) many hobbies, like my newest one .. embroidery.
Of the four I bought this one, of a snowy little town, is very appropriate at the moment of course but at the speed I'm going it probably won't be done before next winter!

   

I enjoy it very much though. Like most of the things I do it's the working on it that I like the most, not the end-product.
I doubt I'm going to display this anywhere when it's ever done, besides .. I don't have room!

I finished my latest puzzle, which I think might be my favorite of all:

It's not an easy one but not too crazy either and I love the image.
Again, very appropriated with all the snow!            

And that's all for this week. Tomorrow we're going to see another play in the theater in McMinnville ... 'Fiddler on the roof'.
                                We're really looking forward to that one!
