Well, I was wrong..... the last snow was not the last.

We woke up today the 27th of April with

another 6 inches.

Is it the 'last'? Who knows, but we love it!!!

This picture was taken a week ago in what was

suppose to be our last snow.

A little handy work by Taylor and Jaden.

This is our resident

Walk On Horse Ranch hawk.

Watching them soaring, signing out and looking for
prey is beautiful.

This our 'guest' house on the patio.

Over the years we have had a lot of guest.

At present is a new family and this is mother

sitting on her nest/eggs.

As we showed you we have placed some

boulders and rocks in our front yard.

This one almost didn't make it. ha

This one got delivered, but we aren't too

happy about its placement. ha

Linda is ready to get one more snowmobile ride in for 2009.

We made it a family day. Jenny and Savannah
are speed demons!

Savannah rides this thing like she has

been doing it all her life...... fast!!!

Hannah is our 'dare devil'. There is nothing

that is too scary or to fast for her.

For Taylor it was like the old dirt bike days

of yester-year.

The faster the better.

We had a great time.

JK, thanks for the helmets.

It is the last snow for awhile, but we are

already looking forward to the next one

and more snowmobiling.

Who can name this beautiful 12 year old?
Kate thinks she might be ready
to meet her baby. You think?

John and Gwen are ready to become new
GRANDPARENTS!

Well they all got their wish.

Welcome to the Hussong - Darden family

Mom, Dad and baby Lou doing great.

The last of March and thus far in April we

have gotten the most snow we have

received all winter.

The grand kids, with Maggie,

take advantage of this special time.

Maggie and Jaden cool it by the new rocks.

We then had a week of sunny and warm weather,

but it started to cool down and the birds

were thinking of moving south.

These Black Birds are fun to watch, but really noisy.

This is Dale, who plows

our driveway every time it snows just

because he is a Great Neighbor.

Our newest snow started Friday the 17th

and we have over a foot and it is still coming down.

It is a wet snow and is packing down more

than usual. We expect another 6 inches

before it stops tonight.

Our bird house, built by Bob Duval, is providing a home

to a new family, but they are staying inside today.

We will cancel all BBQs until further notice.

The horses, not being the smartest animals

spend most of their time outside

even though their barn door is open.

This is Jenny and Scott's patio this morning on the 18th.

And, this is Jenny and Scott's street today.

Good news is it will be in the 60's tomorrow and

in the 70's all next week.

So family snowmobiling is on for tomorrow! yea

I got Doug's cool surfboard mounted on top

of our Woody Golf Cart just in time for the snow.

Whats up with that?

Obviously "Surf" is not "Up".

But, before the snow came we were ready to go.

We had a great visit with Peter, Pauline and Maggie.

They stayed with us a few days and went to

Taylor and Kim's cabin for a few days.

And, yes they got snow!

Besides looking great in that pink cowgirl hat

Maggie did a great job riding Cochise.

Speaking of doing a great job riding, Nic has

become a fine rider. She and Dandy had a great time.

Pete gave Maggie some driving lessons in the

golf cart.

And it wasn't long before she had it all figured out.

Good job Maggie!
