Is it Spring Yet?

 

hehehe

YOU figure it out.

.
.
Good Evening! 

Anyone still up?
I have been lax in writing, and even in responding. My apologies once more.

That snowstorm that we didn't know what we would get?
Suffice to say that Canada found me once more.

Wouldn't you just know that Suamico got top billing on total snowfall.

.
.

That's Suamico with the 8.3 inches.
I live under the "point".

.
.

My own proven scientific programs and methods measured a bit more.

.
.
.

Flintville Trumps Suamico!
(That's a 15" rule by the way).
I should have brought a tape measure out for the drifts!
.
.
.

It began almost insidiously-
Even though we all knew it was coming.

Punk watched out the window.
.
.


...almost mesmerized by her own reflection.

.

.


But maybe she was watching these little snow angels
(Built by Mother nature and a few great reflections).
.

.
Morning comes, bringing sunshine...
.
.
.


...and decorated windows all around!
.
.
.
.


And a drifted and decorated backyard also!
.
.
.
.
.Know I have seen many things, from many snowstorms...

.


But never have I seen drifts

on my roof !?!  
.
.
.
.


The south side of the garage sporting a drift also.

(Methinks my birdies are dirty)! 

hehehe
Anyone singing "Tennessee Bird Walk"?
.
.

.

My rounded and drifted driveway,
past a strategically parked Buick Roadmaster.
.
.
.

I call it "a single girls easy snow removal"... hehehe
I got tired of trying to keep all the snow and ice from where Casey walks in the house, so I parked the Roadmaster over the sidewalk, & in front of the door.  

(Good thing I have more doors)! hehehe

Then when the snowplow comes, I just drive the car away, jumping the drift left by the plow in front of the car...(And admittedly a bit blindly), onto the driveway and push the snow off with a broom!

SO simple!

...And yes, I got plowed out about 5:30 tonight.

And yes, I got plowed out about 6 tonight.

.
Punk thought Mother Nature was playing hide and seek with her pull toy.
.

.She also believes each snowfall brings her own little world of fun.
This because she has no opposable thumbs,
...and thus cannot operate a shovel

.


But a good nose can find just about anything.
She dug furiously for about 30 seconds.
.
.
.
.


And brings it to me...
.
.
.
.
She gave me a choice-  "ARF!" she said.

"Shovel the snow or throw the toy"

(Talk about a "no brainer").
hehehe
.
.
.
.


We put a few miles on the dog-

(and on the toy too).
.


Most times she had to dig for it all over again.
.
.
.


But always she found it!
Normally that pull toy bends.
Just not when it is frozen solid.
.
.
.
.
.


Sometimes, she just looks so much like her Mama that it shocks me.
.
.
.
.
.


Mostly, I believe she has the cleanest face in all of Flintville!
.

.Snows can be pretty sometimes...
.


even for weeds and wiegelia
.

.
.


Sometimes it can be downright "cornfoosing"
What the heck IS that anyway???
.
.
.
.

Sometimes serene, dangerous, and pretty-
& even all at once!
.

.
.Sometimes a bit back breaking...
(even before you lift a shovel)-

.

Sometimes brutally honest...
Knowing we won't be getting back to those woods anytime soon
.
.

.


Sometimes distance is dist0rted
and even 150 yards seems SO far away.
.
.
(I still have to dig out that mailbox of mine.
The mailman leaves me nasty notes if I don't).
.

.
But I believe I shall just wait 'til my boots dry out...
.
.
.



.

.

Love to all.

XOXO
Anne



(I am still challenged by that mailman of mine... If he can get close enough to leave those notes, wouldn't you think he could also put my mail IN the box)?!?
Hmmm...
