Our 6th Day of Snow in the Seattle Area!

 January is the month I teach Anni about winter weather. I think we may have tempted the weather fates. They blew a cold front that's been drifting snow down since last Saturday.
 Anni's winter art.
 Snowmen rule the bulletin board.
 And they're taking over the mantel.
 Snowflakes hanging midair between the learning center and the dining room.
 We braved outside to feed the chickens.
 They were hungry and so not amused by the snow.
 A rhody in winter white.
 Barkley, have you been eating the snow again?
 Snowflake sugar cookies.
 No two are exactly alike.
 Is it nature or the unsteady hand of the decorator?
The flowerpot snowman standing guard over the garden. "Back you snow goblins!"
 A ginormous icicle handing right over the center of our front door, ready to nail the unexpected.
 Is this the rare Northwest tree squid?
 Nope, just a frozen wind chime anchored by an aggressive grape vine.
The official family snow-o-meter.

We've enjoyed our winter respite, but seriously Weather Fates, enough! My farm box is coming tomorrow and I don't want to have to sled seven miles to pick it up!
