A lovely visit.....

 I thought I'd share our almost 2 feet of fresh snow 
and its snowed over night again and its still snowing.....
 Look at my neighbors greenhouse....
 I love when the trees are covered...
 Look at Mr. Moose's nose all white from digging out branches...
we kept hoping he would show while are visitors were here
but of course no....
 George never makes it too long in the deep snow and he wants up 
just like a toddler.....
 Here was our three guests...the one in the middle is studying
to be a music teacher and the other two are going to be pastors....
the one on the right was Swedish and he noticed some of my 
Dala horses....so his friends asked him to say something in Swedish
So he did and after They asked what he said was " I hope Heidi can read 
the Swedish Blogs" made me laugh.
Super wonderful young men and what a fabulous concert they put on....all 60 of them!
 Mimi, Josie and Cory went out to build a tunnel in the front yard....
 Cory .....drum roll passed the Geography Bee test and is on to
state at the end of the month.....Say a prayer for him!
 Look at the snow miners...hard at work!

Sick of my tulips yet....hehe!!

The buffet at church was wonderful
 and the women won the contest of the cook off!

The guys on the way home that night I was asking them how the
Bear and Musk ox was....they said delicious!
I stuck to the sea food and it was wonderful!
