Okay, I have two more winter picture to share with you today. Hopefully these are the last of the year!
This is what happened during our last storm almost two weeks ago! 
That's my sweet husband that's being dwarfed by the huge drift!


This is another road about half a mile away from the first photo. Yes, there is a road under there!



The sun has come out and the big melt has begun...but it's going to take some time! 
Have a wonderful weekend! :o)

Love, love the bag Nancy. You would think it was a card if you did not know. Great sketch also to work with.

TGIF Nancy! Your bag project turned out perfect! The yellow bakers twine is precious. Those are some awesome pictures - we are supposed to get more tonight. Have a great weekend! ~*~Lisa

I had to look twice before I realized this was a bag but it's a great project. Your colours compliment that bright yellow perfectly! Fab colouring Nancy... the highlights on his pants are pefect and I like how even your cutting is.

Marilyn said...

Oh, I meant to comment on the snow... that's what it is like here in the SW part of the province and I am so over winter. It is melting though and in a couple months, I'll probably be complaining about how hot it is!

Geri said...

Oh, my...I think it WILL take some time to get rid of that. Maybe I should send you some of the 60 degrees plus rain we're supposed to get over the next several days. But then we'd probably be looking at you and hubby in floaties...bobbing down that road we can't see!!;) That bag is adorable, Nancy...just perfection!!
