It's still snowing!

As I sit here writing I can hear the wind blowing. It still looks pretty nasty out there but it isn't snowing as hard as it was. I wonder what the road looks like? I haven't been brave enough to venture out in that wind to check it out. Yesterday I did go out and take some pictures but I was protected from the wind.

Daniel and Leah were outside again this morning. They wanted to go out so they could shovel the snow out of their fort. Daniel said he got stuck in a snowbank by the quonset that was up to his chest. Tim said there was at least 18 -24 inches of snow on one of his trailers that is setting out of the wind. It will be interesting to see if the guys get out of here tomorrow. Tim has to work Sunday afternoon and Brandon will need to get back to Fargo if the interstate is open.

I had fun mixing up dough for spritz cookies yesterday. I used my mother's recipe and looked several times. I thought it strange that there were no eggs in the recipe. When I took the dough out of the Bosch bowl to chill in the fridge I thought it very dry and wondered how it would work. After I put it in the fridge I looked again at the recipe. There I saw 1 egg!!! in the ingredients. As I made a double recipe I should have added 2. I didn't know if it would work to add the eggs after I had added the flour but thought I might as well try it. I sure didn't want to waste all that butter. I put it in my Bosch mixer bowl where the Bosch mixed it up just fine. I'm glad to report that they turned out to be very delicious!

Brandon helped with the cookie press. Tim, Daniel, and Leah frosted and decorated them for me. This morning there is only one cookie left on this plate. But I have more stored in a Tupperware container.




Tim and Daniel are shoveling a path for Sunny to do her business. Sunny is 10 years old and not liking to go out in the snow. She used to play out there for hours. Now she runs out and runs back in as quickly as she can.



Smile for the camera....

I like this one of Daniel.

Brandon worked most of the day on the old snowmobile. He replaced the bar that helps it steer as well as doing other things. It seems every time he rides the thing he needs to work on it. Since he likes fixing things he doesn't seem to get tired of doing it. He did enjoy some time riding it, letting Tim ride it, and pulling Daniel on his toboggan behind it.

I tried to get a good video of him riding and didn't really. But I will include one anyway. I'm off to make some waffles and eggs for brunch. Have a blessed Sabbath and stay warm!
