This week I am visiting my Grandmother in Kansas. Monday night I arrived at the farm just as the first snow was falling, and by Tuesday morning I couldn’t have left if I wanted to. Here are some pictures of what things looked like the first couple of days I was here!

Here is the Facebook photo album if interested.

It took a front loader to clear the driveway so I would be able to get out if I needed, although as of Friday night I had not even attempted it since we have plenty to eat in the house, and the electricity, heat and internet are all working.
