Tunnels

Forget snowmen. The snow's too deep up here for that. Basically the only thing we can do is make tunnels. This is supposed to be our driveway. But there's no other place to actually put the 70.5 inches of snow we've gotten so far this year. So we had to sacrifice the back corner of the driveway and Pip and Phil carved out a tunnel back into the depths.

After watching Phil shovel us out of 4 snow storms (we've only been here 2 weeks!!), I decided that even being 8 months pregnant was no excuse not to suit up and dig a bit myself. My progress was slow to say the least, but I plodded on until Pip came out to help, then Vivie, then Phil. Vivie took a nice shovel of snow to the face from Pip which ended her shift, but Phil Pip and I continued until we were dug out. Well, "dug out" meaning functional ... we haven't even bothered with the front stairs for a couple of rounds now.
