A Cool Refreshing Dose of Winter Snow

I realize many of you don't get to experience snow at all, and others are in the southern hemisphere where it is summer. Also Australia seems to be burning. I thought you all could use some snow.

Behind our house is a pasture that is empty in the winter. The view ain't bad.

I made a sledding hill with spiral track

Vampire Sledding at Dusk Tonight

Let me tell you, constructing that sledding hill by hand was a lot of work and a lot of fun for me yesterday and today. I rolled a bunch of huge snowballs and pushed them together to form the main mass, then shoveled snow into a tub and compacted it to make steps and the walls of the slide track.

I hope you have enjoyed your dose of snow
