Visiting the Grandchildren

Finally we left Aroostook for a few days! We went to visit Emily, Bridget, and Alex at their homes. Despite the fact that it is almost April, we traveled both ways in constant snow.

This was the scene in Massachusetts on Saturday when we arrived. It snowed all the way home yesterday.
First we went to visit Jon, Erin, & Emily. She is cuter every time we see her! We enjoyed our visit!

Here are Grampy and Emily working away.

Just look at those curls!
On Saturday we moved on to Massachusetts to visit Bob, Gina, Bridget, and Alex.

Alex is looking very serious in this picture, but he is a happy, laughing little boy.

Bridget and Grammy did a little coloring, adding glitter to the final product.

Grampy and Bridget found something interesting to study at the restaurant.

Here are the two of them sharing a ride in a red wagon.
We had a good time getting away from the routine of a long winter, but we were a little disappointed that winter stayed with us the whole time. Is this the spring that will never come?

It Will Never End!!

This has been the most stubborn winter anyone has seen in years. Spring is a few days away and today we will share with you the depth of the snow and our weather. It was white when we woke up this morning, and it hasn't stopped snowing for a moment.

This picture, taken through the window, is looking across the street through the snow.

The driveway was blown out at lunch time, but you can see the depth of what is there.

This is looking over the fence at our neighbor's garage. The snow is almost to the top of the fence.

It is snowing so hard that the houses across the street are barely visible.

Gary has filled the bird feeders today, and entire flocks of birds have eaten half of what he put in already. They are just wild for some food.

 

When will this winter end?? We are sick of it! It is time to plant the tomatoes!
