SNOW!!!

Emptying out the furnace ashes is usually no problem, when the ground is frozen and dry. Even a bit of rain like the weatherman predicted would have been pretty easy.  But, it started to snow this morning. And snowed. And snowed.  And then, with about 10 centimetres on the ground, the sun finally peeked out a little, encouraging some youngsters to come out and play.

 First, they shoveled off the porch and the front steps, but then they were lured by the perfect packing snow, and soon a snowball fight broke out, with teams being formed and reformed by the minute.  

 Look out!  While two are cheesing for the camera, the third is loading his guns.

Busted!  They stopped him in the nick of time!
