Last week we had our only snow of the year, we had ice a couple months ago but this is the only snow we've had that could make a snowball...I got out with the camera just in time to catch the one and only snowball fight! It was followed by an attempt at making maple sugar candy. We've been reading the Little House books lately and ever since the Big Woods one, we've been wanting to try it this. I remember trying it as a little girl, too, and being equally disappointed. Somehow our maple syrup doesn't quite do the same thing she describes! The boys tried a few bites and very cheerfully declared it to be "not very good, mom". :)

By the way, I still have snowballs in the freezer....
