I'll start with the snow in my last post.. to clarify things..when I mentioned
it only happens every 3 years or so .. I actually meant it only settles this thickly
on the ground at our place..not in Tasmania.. it snows every year in Tassie
and we have a reasonable ski season at Mt Field and Ben Lomond.. some years
better than others.. but this season has been promising so far! Most serious
skiers will, however head to the mainland slopes or if they are lucky to New
Zealand or overseas for the powder junkies (like my M in another life LOL)
Well..it was a bit of an anticlimax where my snow pics are concerned ..by the
time I surfaced from a sleep-in (the girls got the day of school) the rain had
caused most of the snow to melt so I missed my photo op :(
Luckily the girls made the most of it while their mother was snoring her head
off and gathered up a barrow full of snow out of the rain and made these....

Rhiannon used a doggie treat for the mouth and of course Jesse discovered it and
stole poor snow bear's mouth and one eye before I could get my camera out LOL.
