We got a bunch of snow and then it rained really hard all day. There were a ton of washouts all around the area due to the storm drains and culverts being clogged by snow from other prior storms. What a mess!

This is across the street from us. The damage blocks access to a private road where 7 families live:

This is the set of steps in front of our house. We went out to run an errand and this is what we found when we returned! The water was rushing across the road, hitting the snow bank, and traveling down the side of the road until it reached our driveway. Then it came barreling down the drive and over our steps. I took a shovel up the road and shoveled a big hole through the snow bank. That fixed most of the problem by routing the water across the street through the woods.

We had washouts at the top of our driveway 8-12" deep. Not too bad when we consider how much damage others had. We're very thankful.

We have a really well-preserved stone wall that forms the east border of our property. You can see how big it is compared to Ethan. I can't imagine the manual labor of man and beast that went into forming such a thing. It's well over 200 yards long and is still square and standing most of the way.

Christmas eve treats

We usually worship on Sunday evenings, but today our church substituted an extended morning meeting for the evening meeting. So we stayed home and made treats.
