Or cabin fever!

 

[BantyChooks]

You 2 are suffering from shortage of vitamin D due too sun light deficiency!

I took my vitamin D already, so there.

Or cabin fever!

Kinda. It isn't fit for man or beast out there right now.

Come April I will be much more cabin-fever-ish. Snowstorms then elicit groans from even the children.

More dry mittens and sleds.

I probably need to purchase or make some more sleds. There are currently two good ones and they are squabbled over all winter.

Try truck inner tubes. They are a blast.

Definitely. I believe we had some but they ended up full of holes.

The sledding hill is not very nice to sleds, to say the least.

 

[ChickenCanoe]

They make inner tube patches.

That or find a new hill.

Are you in a hilly area?

We have, not in commercial growing, this breed the red banana, very beutiful plant!

And there is a blue variety too.

Oh amazing! How do they taste? I've been dying to taste red bananas but they're $30 for 7 lbs and you can only find them online (at least here)

After the 30th patch they end up looking funny.

It's pretty hilly here but this is the only one without too many trees. It is also the safest one, and close to the house. I do not have to worry about broken arms and legs so much this way.

I remember hills as a child where you would collide with a tree stand if you did not make a turn halfway down a hill. They were steep and sometimes crossed small brooks or sinkholes. A friend of mine busted herself up badly when she hit a fallen tree. She still has knee issues, last I knew anyway. I was a tad more cautious and made it through childhood without too many severe injuries.

The current hill just has brambles, a rock wall, and some smaller trees. Nothing that would mess you up if you crashed. The hill surface is lots of sharp rocks so if the kids sled too much the rocks poke through and shred the sled bottoms.

Sledding is not for the weak here.

I was in the AF with an OK guy who carried a scar under one eye. Seems the snow was drifted to within several inches of the top of a barbed wire fence. He must've been face down when the top wire nailed him.
