White Everywhere

Algona got 8" of snow and Humboldt 4" so we are somewhere in between there. Everything outside is white and, if like last year, will be now until Spring! In Indiana we would have warmer temps. off and on that would melt the snow so it wasn't white all winter there. I remember talking to Tim about vehicle colors last year and he said that he doesn't like white vehicles because they can't be seen very well in the winter. Now I know why! My Pilot is white which is good in the summer - the dust doesn't show on it (we live on a gravel road).

The new header photo is from last winter. It's our driveway and trees on a day that the frost was sticking to the trees and really pretty.

The walls for our house were supposed to arrive today but with the weather, they're now coming tomorrow around noon. They will be on 2 semis coming from Minnesota. They say that building the walls off site saves about a week in framing time, and we've heard that they can have the walls up and under roof in maybe 3 days! We hope so! More snow is expected in a few days! Bill is having to keep the snow off of the "floor" of the house. The wind blew enough last night that there wasn't much on it today luckily.

Bill is getting the snow blower on one of the tractors and is putting a loader on another. I'm working on our Christmas cards this afternoon. Can't post a picture since many of you are getting one!
