So last night it snowed – quite a lot! It was that nice heavy west coast snow, so lots of our trees got kinda flattened. Emma has just been outside knocking the snow of the worst ones with a broom – well until she threw the broom up the cherry tree and it got stuck!
While she was out there there were some very loud cracks, and I watched one big Arbutus branch land harmlessly on the drive, and another fall right on top of the deer fencing. Ryan will be pleased to hear that the top wire is paying for itself!
Dexter was outside as well, and he loves the snow, as you can see in this little movie. It turns him back into a puppy instantly (not that it takes much with Dexter):
Its funny to see snow on top of the sunflower and the planters that are still blooming! Now the sun has come out and its warming up, so all the trees are unloading. It almost looks like its snowing again. Still, as they say, snow worries…
I fully expect a video of you throwing yourself down the drive this year if the snow holds. Just ensure you stay on the drive as it tends to hurt if you go off the side and hit a tree (trust me).
Railings also look good on the cottage from what I can see.
