Snow in the Northwest! Sliding, sleds, snowballs and snow much fun

Snow-storm-northwest-slides

Waking up to snow on a warm Sunday is pretty sweet. The snow was PERFECT. It was the stickiest I’ve seen in a LONG time and the best for snowballs, snowmen, snow slides. . .we spent most of the day out in the snow and had so much (free) fun.

Snow-storm-elephant-slide

What started out as a big snowball ended up turning into a pretty sweet slide, that strangely resembles an elephant. My fingers haven’t quite recovered from all the scooping and packing – and I’m fairly certain I’ll be a bit sore tomorrow – but what fun we had building this!

Faster-faster-snow-storm

My daughter saying, “faster, faster!” as we give her nudge from the top of the slide. She is quite a daredevil.

Push-You-Snow-Slide-Feb-2014

Teamwork. Giving each other pushes at the top of the slide.  We lost count how many times they went down the slide.

Snow-day-playing-in-snow

We dug out the sled, which we’ve used about two times since we bought it. And had fun taking turns around the yard.

No-Gardening-happening-here-bee-pots

Not a thing growing here. Can’t wait until spring. All my pots were covered with inches of snow.

Raised-Beds-covered-in-Snow

And my raised beds look like little beds with white comforters. Guess it’s too early to plant?  🙂

Birch-Tree-front-yard

I love taking photos in the snow because all the white seems to make everything more vibrant. This is the birch tree in my front yard. I love it because it reminds me of home – we have a lot of birch trees in Alaska where I grew up.

Evergreen-Fir-Snow-branch

Winter-bird-branch-snow

The birds aren’t sure what to think.

Snow-Covered-bird-house-rosemary

My rosemary plants, covered in snow. And a bird house just peeking out.

Weather-Vane-Snow

Don’t need a weather vane to tell you – there is snow. Thinking they should have de-iced this plane.

Chicken-Coop-Snow

We opened up the chicken coop and the chickens looked at us with disgust before going up into the hen house. The chickens want nothing to do with the snow. And considering they don’t have boots on, I don’t blame them. 🙂

If you live in the Northwest and you were blessed with a blanket of white snow today, I’m hoping you got a chance to get outside and play in it!

    Love the photos! We are orig. from the Northeast and haven’t seen this kind of snow since we were back home! It was much welcomed. Last night we were out for hours playing football in it and building snowmen! Today we were right back out in it. Not sure the pets knew what to do! Our cat “b-lined” it for the outside (he is an inside cat) and screeched to a hault once he hit the snow and scrambled back inside. We adopted him at the shelter here, so I am not sure he has ever seen this white stuff before!

What they’re saying

Queen Bee has been my go to for many years. Not only how to save on the family grocery budget. But, how to shop. From grocerys to clothes to household. She has saved us hundreds, if not thousands of dollars cumulatively over the years. Thank You! Debby F.

Queen Bee has been one of my favorite pages to follow! A friend kept sharing her deals so I had to start following and I’m so glad I did. I have been able to purchase so many items at great prices because of her posts. She is great about commenting back to questions or even just saying thanks to people who let her know they picked up an item she posted! Christine R.

Queen Bee is an amazing site with great deals no doubt, but my favorite parts are the snippets of silliness, morning coffee, amazing second hand finds. Queen Bee has saved me lots of money, but it's also brightened many a days! Tilla H.

Queen bee has helped me to make Christmas awesome for my kids every year. We follow the blog and are able to stay in budget and get twice as many items for the family. They are the best!! Jessica T.

Can always count on QueenBee for great deals from many different stores ! She's always keeping us well informed, saved a lot throughout the years, been following for a good 7 years ! Cathy L.
