Oh, So White

Quite the “little bit” of snow.  It went from wet sleet to fluffy snow and now we are winding up with the fine wet stuff.  When Dennis called last night he asked how things were going.  I was happy to report that all was well and I had not done anything silly in regard to snow removal.  I do have my part of the snow moved and in time Randy will be over with his huge blower.

Last night at supper time, I could not count how many deer were in our backyard and neighbor Jan’s.  I lost count at eight.  Two definitely were fawns.  When I cleared the snow off of the east patio today getting ready to put the corn out for this evening, I noticed that Randy had a hay bale that the crew had really chomped on.  All is good.  I opened the second bag of corn today.  Snuggles dang near beat me to the open bag to sniff it all.  Noisy as all get out.

While it was snowing quite heavily this morning, I did work on the Santa jacket.  The lining and the jacket are now one.  It will make it so much easier when the white fleece will get attached to the entire bottom.  That is for tomorrow. 

Right now I am in the west porch on Dennis’ computer, using his setup, watching traffic and sipping on tea.  When I came in from being outside from a fairly long time, I needed a snack.  As I am cleaning out the kitchen with things before replenishing from the grocery store, I poured some Honey Nut Cheerios in a bowl and brought it out here to the porch.  I was propelled back to the days of South Branch when the whole family was the janitor for the church.  Monday mornings . . . it was amazing how many cheerios and other cereal was on the floor, in the hymnal racks and on pews in the area of the back of the church where the families would sit with small children.  Clean up to no end.  Keep them fed and it might be possible to stay for the whole service.  Who the heck is going to clean up after me tomorrow of all the cheerios that have gotten away from me today.  Amazing how far they can roll.

It is still snowing and I might take one more run at pushing the snow from the back door and the garage door onto the pile that Randy will take care of.  It’s easier to keep up with it before it becomes work.
