Snow isn’t guaranteed each year in SW Virginia. Personally, I’d be happy if we had none at all, but then I’m a grumpy old man. The kids, on the other hand, are as enthusiastic about snow as you might imagine…

Yes, a lot of these pictures flat out suck. Poor focus. Odd coloration. Doesn’t matter - they’re good enough to see how silly and cute Dyson and Keira are…

The odd coloration is from trying to compensate from the overly gray hue in the originals. The lack of focus is from ??? Sigh…

Some day I’ll have multiple cameras for multiple purposes. Just use the point-and-click for situations where having a pocket-sized camera is useful…

This is a typical expression for Dyson - the false hilarity somewhat masking the fear. Usually accompanied by a manic giggle…

Pricker bushes in the way? Bah!

The area they in which they are sledding is not actually part of our lawn. The neighbor to our back has a line of pine trees (see above picture) between their house and ours - but it is about 30′ from the edge of his property. There is a little hill that comes down to a dry wash between their property and ours. The big trees keep the sun off of that hill so the snow sticks around there even when it has melted in the majority of our yard.

Miss Drama needs to pose, of course…

Keira doesn’t mind giving Dyson a hand - especially when that hand is used to give him a push…

Surprise, surprise. When the snow runs out, the saucer comes to a stop. The shadow of the trees only extends to (about) the dry wash ditch.

Hopefully spring is on its way and we don’t see any more of the cold wet stuff…

Bah humbug!
