Snow

We had some good winter weather yesterday, bringing the snow depth up to my knees. Although I grumbled a little bit about shovelling (again), it was fun to wade through the snow with Cannon.

He seems to enjoy burying his head in the snow with his butt up in the air.

SAT scores are pretty good in NH too. Hmmmm . . .
