backyard sledding
The hill looks more impressive in real life...We're taking wagers on when on the snow will melt. While we haven't gotten hit with the same big storms as the winchester crew, 3 inches a day, everyday adds up.

woooohoooo
the sun officially rose before 8am this morning and we are now gaining over 2 minutes of sun a day!!! Our solar noon altitude will hit 30 degrees by sunday (from a low of 23.9) on dec 21... I always notice the sun seems higher on the horizon about Feb 1, so i think that 30 degrees makes a difference. Long way to go to 70.7 (june 21) but we'll take it.

We had a warm rainy day yesterday, which melted our snow. Its the first time you could see the ground since Dec 4th! Just as the sun was setting the clear cleared to the west creating a rainbow. I've never seen a rainbow in January before, so we thought that was kind of cool. We only had our phones with us (we were in the car) so the picture isnt great, but here it is anyway.
in other news, a friend at work gave Bee a little notebook. At dinner the other night i noticed it was sitting on the table, so i picked it up and read the cover out loud to the family. "Bee's Dire" (Bee's Diary). So then I opened the book and started to read the first page to the family, and it said "Please do not read my dire." Frankie laughed so hard she fell backwards out of her chair. Poor Franks. Well, I learned my lesson about opening other people's diaries!
