Winter '97 was becoming a wimpy remembrance, when on February 8th it showed its colors. Ellen and Ben were more than ready for it...

Ben was clueless about what to do with the blue thing, but we showed him...
So Ellen and Ben prepared to go down the steep driveway...

WHEE!
Heavy snow on the branches, the trees looked a sight...

Our home looks better in this light...
Ben seemed smaller in the white surroundings...

Ellen was overcome by the thrill of it all...

But then a strange wolf appeared, and Ben was overcome by his fear of them all...

The wolf made himself at home - he had nothing to fear, except, maybe, this big white thing so near!

While Dad, Mom, Ellen and Ben escaped to the inside's warmth...
The wolf and the snowman became friends...
