Alone in the Dome!!?!

I just got back to the dome, so I thought I'd blog about it. I was worried for what I might find after the dome being empty for ~2 weeks. I had been preparing myself to find mice, just so I wouldn't freak out if I actually saw one, or even just evidence of one. Luckily, my mom lovingly pointed out that usually by this time of year the mice have already found their home, so if we kept them out already, they aren't going to be running through the snow to get into our Roton-free dome. So, basically what it comes down to is that I've come home to a dark, quiet, and cold dome, very very cold. But at least it is a mouse-free cold dome. The only disturbing thing I've found is a patch of the wall, which has an uncanny resemblance to coral. How did this happen?!?!!?!?!!!!





I can't even tell which one of these is the dome and which one is coral.

The Dome is an Igloo!

The snow and the cold have finally arrived in VT, and The Dome is looking quite attractive with its shingles all covered in snow. And with the arrival of winter-time adventures comes a new blog post!

So, here is the dome.


And here is Roton in the snow.

He has been bulking up for the cold weather. You can't tell from this photo, but he is quite round.

Here is a picture of Laura having a really splendid time on the snow run we constructed between the dome and the barn.

It was a pretty big project. We even have a ramp at the top for extra speed (read: to make it to the bottom without stopping on the middle section which is mostly flat).

(sorry videos take forever to upload, check back tomorrow maybe)
We really love our sled run. Roton does too.
