WINTER!!

It is winter! We have a lot of snow on the ground. This snow is from a storm in December. We all went out afterwards and built snow forts.

I made this big pile of snow, and Martin is burrowing out an igloo! I am so glad that He is old enough to build his own fort.

It was very cold, and perhaps this is why the sky was a brilliant deep blue. I know that Low temperatures as usually accompanied by high pressure systems- perhaps high pressure means more nitrogen in the air which makes the sky especially blue?

Or maybe When you are outside on a very cold day after a very big snow storm, you get to participate in a very special sort of day. Building giant snow structures is so fun, that even the sky appears to be more than the usual color of blue.

I love winter in Wisconsin.
