[My] Life in Wisconsin

Silent Night SnowFalls...

SILENT NIGHT SNOWFALLS...
~~~~~BY ANNA-ANNA~~~~~
~~~~~~~~
So many ideas begin to unfold,
to warm a cold evening, to brighten the soul.
Where do you begin to write about love?
Which words do you use? (There aren't enough)...
Tonight the first blizzard left trees fat with white;
Decorated by Nature~~~ A grandiose sight!
Silent Night rang its warm truths in my head;
My thoughts are of you now, and things that we've shared...
The snow began falling, early tonight,
to coat all our world with its virginal white~
We watched it come down, we played in it too;
The laughter we shared? Innocent. True.
Now combine this deep snowfall with lives warming touch,
and you'll know how I feel; why you mean so much.
Such a wonderful feeling to have you with me;
To delight in your nearness??? Magic to me!!!
Even now that you've left your presence I feel;
A force so alive... So vivid. So real!
Your touch is the magic that sets me on fire;
revealing a flame that has never burned brighter...
It's not new, it began long ago; far away...
by a friendship that truly got carried away!
And before sleep will come I want you to know;
My love for you always continues to grow...
XOXO
Anne

Looking toward the then~unplowed road...

The Yews are heavy with white!

Milly outside, to have to bunny hop over the drifts, (and to return to the door in record time)!

Punk says "It is very deep out here!"

.
"ARF"... "Dang! It's not here" ..."I'll NEVER find my stick now!"
.

"It's not over here EITHER!"
.
.
.
.
.
Milly says, "It's not here either!"
.
.
.

(And so it was time for them to ask for help)!
.
.
.
.

Time to call out the BIG GUNS!!!
.
.
.

"OK, I will help, but where's the darned shovel anyway?"
.
.
.
.

"um... Yeah, RIGHT... THAT ain't gonna happen! "
"VEWY FUNNY!"
.
.

"I think I need a break now.... D'Ya mind if I sit here?"

"Berta! What happened to your knees???"
.
.
.

"If I hide behind the dog, Mom won't ever find me, and I won't have to shovel..."
.
.
.
"Oh for Petes sake, Mom! You need BIGGER guns yet!
.

.
.
.
.
.

Did we miss anything????
.
.
.
More coffee anyone? (How about a hot shower)???
.
.

Roberta took many pictures inbetween all her own shoveling and continuous clearing of the concrete... You will have to check her blog, (if you haven't already)...

Master Gabriel came indoors yesterday, took his snowsuit off, and headed straight up the steps for his nap... He was toasty warm... (and dry too, even with sitting in all that snow)!

I decided that life was real boring, and can you say "@ss over teakettles"?

...Almost funny. No, actually it was... (for everyone but me)! hehehe

I hope everyone is dug out, safe and warm... for now anyway...

Looking outside, there is about 4+ MORE inches on the ground and it is still coming down. Schools around here have all opened on time; although nearer the lakeshore they have had a 2 hour delay. Only a handful have chosen to close completely.

My weather radio has told me that we are to have about 4 MORE inches yet today yet...

Do you remember the before picture of the side of the house???

.

.

.
.
.
.
Now below is how it looked yesterday...

.

And yes, I will go out and snap another picture yet this morning!
.
.
.
Well, just as soon as I feel like it!!! hehehe...
.

*sigh*

Oh my aching ____________ !

(Please feel free to fill in the blank for me)!

XOXO
