We decided that today was a good day to stay home and enjoy the comforts of Turtle Valley. We started the day quite slowly and enjoyed the colder weather (about -7 in the morning), still no snow, but the snow has stopped melting. We had some jobs/play to do, beginning with plowing the snow out of the driveway. Phil and Mark got the ride-on mower with snow plow on the front working and Phil had a quick lesson on how to use it. He was soon zipping up and down the driveway with a few yahoos for good measure. There was some general excitement before the plowing really began. Nan, Bogey, Annie, Mickey and I were happy enough to enjoy without partaking too much (I did get on for a brief ride).
Once the drive had been plowed we were able to stop for lunch; yummy toasted sandwhiches with egg, onion, bacon, ham and more. I think we called this a 'Belch', but regardless of the name, it was good. I felt pretty sleepy after supervising the plowing, so went for a short nap. Phil on the other hand still hand energy to burn and toys to play with, so he went out and cut up a tree with the chainsaw and then chopped it up in smaller pieces for the fire. The new snow pants proved not to be not just highly attractive, but useful as well as Phil stayed warm well into the evening.
Dinner was chicken on the BBQ, cooked in the snow, and it was delicious. This was followed by Bomb Alaska, with chocolate icecream and Mango gelati on the inside, which was awesome!
We were planning to have a camp fire with some of the hard earned firewood, but after a big day we decided to save it for our last evening. Instead we spent some time playing on the Internet and mucking around with our photos.
Highlight of the day: Phil would love to have his own snow plow and driveway full of snow.
