Old Recipes & weather
We have run the gambit I tell you. Last week after the 36 plus inches melted off we had 2 really nice days before we were hit again with snow.
If I can get a few days of dry weather I am going to dig a 2 hole Indian fire and take pictures as we go along and then using it to post here with instructions.
This last Friday we had several inches of new snow and Dave was sledding with Kaylee in the back yard.
The snow has pretty much melted off the last 3 days and it is in the 50's today but we have rain storms headed in tonight and for the new few days.
The new snow man fell over yesterday afternoon and there is only like 18 inches of him left.
I got to hang the clothes up yesterday to dry, that was so nice. Dave helped take the loads off the line before it got dark.

I can't believe our snow is gone already ... (unusual for this time of the year) although we did have a few very light flakes this morning. That rice muffin recipe looks interesting ~ I might have to give that one a try. Thanks for sharing:)
