When my daughter asks me for a specific design or idea, I am always impressed with the level of detail she provides. During the middle of a snowstorm a few days before Valentine’s Day, we were lamenting our lack of outside time together as we watched the flakes gently falling on the snow drifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past winter has been especially snowy. While the weather hasn’t been particularly cold, but we have had a record breaking amount of snow! In our own backyard, we have piles of snow more than 4 feet tall! Despite its beauty, I expressed my disappointment in more snow.
