Steven unloads stuff from the car. We've been parking up here closer to the house, except when the snow is deep. Nice to spoil ourselves in our old age!
We've been boiling and filtering rainwater and snowmelt water all winter. It's mostly for dishes, laundry, and showers.
I put a coffee filter between the top and bottom parts of the funnel. You can see the dirty circle of where I just poured water through.
I saw the cat and dog eyeing each other, so I grabbed my camera!
"Hah! Attack" The cat takes the offensive!
The best present in the whole world, even better than the last time I got the best present in the whole world, which was running water in the kitchen sink after 6 1/2 years of living here!This is an Indoor Laundry Center!
I feel so incredibly spoiled. Seriously. No more kneeling and leaning through the shower door in the winter to do laundry in a bucket, then deciding whether to wring it by hand or lug the bucket of wet laundry outside and stand in the snow to run it through the wringer! This is wonderful, and I am very grateful.
We had very little snow all winter, until the 3rd week of January. So we went out for a lot of walks in the sparsly-snowed woods.Steven and "Odie"
The cat went with us on several long walks. We were worried we'd lose the kitty way out there in the woods and have to go cat-hunting, but the cat always stayed with us.

And what a view it is! Maybe doesn't look like much in the picture, but you should have been there!
Very little snow always means a layer of slick ice on our road. We had to stop and chain up the tires on our way DOWN the hill! We couldn't control the car! This is about half a mile below our place.
This is 3 miles from home. Steven took the chains off so we could drive on the pavement.
Now on the way home, Steven is putting the chains back on so we can go up our road. We'd been out to the post office, 7 miles away.
Cold fingers.
We finally got our deep snow. We got about a foot of snow over a few very cold days. It hovered around zero, day and night. This was the middle of the 3rd week of January. Steven is using the roof rake he made, to get snow off the shed roofs.
Steven fired up the snowblower and cleared the paths. I shoveled the ones he couldn't run the snowblower on.
And there he is, coming from the woodshed to the house.
Well-earned rest! Steven, sprawled over the footstool and looking at his computer!
For Barbara's birthday Steven took her out on the snowmobiles. Here he pulls one of them onto the driveway for her. His is ahead of it, waiting to go.
There's Barbara, taking off on the snowmobile!
