Oh Mercy!  We certainly had our workout with the snow today.  I'm not sure how much we ended up getting, but it was more than enough to keep me busy shoveling.  Thank goodness it wasn't so heavy because there must've been another six inches or mor … continue reading

Thank goodness the wind stopped blowing, but soon realized this morning I had to do some re-shoveling due to overnight drifting. At least the sun was shining brightly which made the cold more bearable.  Having not seen it in some days, it seemed all … continue reading
