Snow shovel and strange footprints

 Lots of snow arrived on Thursday night. .  and everything has looked lovely and very photogenic!!! The garden looked very strange as the weight of the snow on the trees had bent them over so they were touching the ground. The poor eucalyptus looked a bit shocked! The cabin looked very alpine. . the black boards looked great against the snow. We spotted some strange animal footprints on the roof of the cabin. . then worked out that it was probably a squirrel. We went for a walk in the woods and took photos of a big group of deer. We had a 6 hour power cut on Friday. . due to a fallen tree nearby.
On Saturday, Tel and a group of neighbours came out to clear 2 tracks down the road and they put down some grit so cars can drive up and down now. We used our plastic snow shovel for the first time. . it does the job much quicker than a spade. . very smooth action. Margaret rallied the troops with mugs of hot chocolate. The snow shovel has been passed from house to house as everyone wanted to use it.
The snow seems to be melting a bit today but there may be more to come?
