After we finished pushing yesterday’s snow into a wide heap with the four wheeler’s plow, our neighbor Mike stopped by and asked the kids if they wanted it piled up higher.  Of course they were delighted to take him up on the offer and they stood there with growing grins as he kept piling it until his bucket couldn’t reach any higher.  Our tractor wouldn’t start with the cold, so it helps to have neighbors with the right tools for one of winter’s serious pursuits:  building snow forts.  Thanks Mike!
