So while David was in beautiful sunny Columbus OH for a week, we had the only snowstorm of note all year (in early December of all times. About 8" of heavy wet snow fell overnight and into the morning. On getting up, the first thing she found was this:
The heavy snow had built up on the netting that keeps the hawks out of the chicken yard, bringing a lot of it down, and tearing what was still up. Not the worst thing that could happen, but no fun either.
Then, later that same day, while downtown. She got a flat tire on the Subaru. It turns out this screw was embedded in the tire, but for a variety of reasons it resulted in completely replacing the tire.
Then, on getting home, she found that the weight of the snow had brought this tree down across the driveway. This picture was taken after she had done some surgery just to be able to get her car out of the driveway. All in all not a very good day
On the brighter side, later that month the girls played Christmas music at a local bookstore after school one day. Here is Grace playing 'Angels We Have Heard on High' on her saxophone. She also played some songs on the piano.
Ingrid also played, both the piano and the flute. Here she is on the piano.
And here with her friend Abbey performing a flute duet.
Lastly this month, Christmas Tree hunting - which Grace had to pay for because the rest of us forgot to bring enough cash to buy a tree. Thanks Grace. Lots of great trees at this farm - we'll be going back there every year for sure.
And the finished product, decorated and ready for St. Nick to come.
