January blues (or is it green, maybe white?)

The fall time thru New Years is my favorite time of year. But once Jan 2 starts, I just get depressed. The weather is cold, it gets dark about 5pm, and there is nothing to look forward to!  But this year my parents gave us a Vita-Mix blender for Christmas. So we have been making soups and green smoothies! It has been fun to see what combination of fruits and green veggies we can get in our smoothies!

Broccoli soup in the vita-mix!

Our first green smoothie!  And yes, we really do drink it most mornings!

The second week of January brought our first major snow storm of the winter. It snowed so much in fact, that we had a snow day from school!

 

Mike and I even shoveled the neighbor's driveway! But I don't know if you could call it work since we were on the 4-wheeler!

 

 

 

But, along with the snow came very frigid temperatures. The temperature never got above 20 degrees for the next 3 weeks!  In fact, the average temp was about 10 degrees for the month of January!
Spring will be a welcome sight!
