Day 31: A day of rest…finally!

Howdy everybody

As you know if you read the last few blog posts…it has been sowing here almost non-stop the past few days. I took a couple pics to show you just how much snow we actually got here right now. The first picture is looking up towards Wildhorse mountain. I have posted pics of it in a few past blog posts. The one with the rocky cliffs at the top. As you can see here its in the clouds because the clouds were so low and the snow was so thick it just looks like fog in the picture. I took these this afternoon when it started snowing.

The 2nd picture is looking out at the driveway from the patio. The grey truck you can see parked there has only been there for 1 day. So all the snow on it is from just the last 24 hours. There is about 10-12inches there. More is on the hood and roof then on the box of the truck. But just looking at whats on the ground should give a good example of how much we got.

Last night before I went to bed it was snowing so I figured I would have to be getting up early this morning to go and shovel snow. My dad said he would call me to wake me up if we needed to go out and shovel snow. But lo and behold I didnt wake up until 9am! I was so suprised because it had snowed a bit during the night. But not enough to warrent shoveling I guess. So I got up to do the morning routine. A little while later I went outside to give some apples to the horses and collect the eggs for the day. I got 14 today. Still haven’t washed them yet lol. I will be doing that before I go to bed so I can get them in the fridge.

Around 2 my Dad brought me up a case of beer since I was out and Mike hasn’t come up to plow the driveway yet so I am effectivly snowed in. I took one of the sleds to the top of the driveway. Waited for my dad to show up. After he dropped off the beer I loaded it into the sled and went back down the driveway. The snow is so deep on the driveway I actually had a hard time getting any speed up since it was the first run. If I had time to do a pre-run to get the pathway for the sled done I would have gone faster. After getting inside I went back to my videogame. For supper I made some stuffed mushrooms. Nice and simple. You just remove the stems from the white mushroom caps and dice them up, along with some onions as well. Then you cut up bacon and start frying it. Once its half done u add the chopped mushroom stems and onions to the pan and finish cooking it. Then you put the mixture into the raw mushroom caps and put on a piece of cheddar cheese and then bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes. These mushrooms were smaller then the ones I usually buy, but oh my goodness, they were probably the best stuffed mushrooms I have ever made. The cheese went all brown and crispy. Man were they ever good!

About an hour ago I went out to feed the horses for the night and put the dogs to bed. there is more snow in the forcast although nothing is coming down yet.It did come down quite a bit later this afternoon as I mentioned before. Which means I have to get up for sure and go shovel what came down today. So Im off to bed. Enjoy the pics and be sure to check back in tomorrow for Day 32.

Until then,
Stay Frosty
