Snow For Sure!

I have no idea what as fallen but it was deemed a snow storm.  I was up at 3:30 and all was calm.  By the time I settled back in at 4:30 the snow was just beginning.  I fell soundly back to sleep.  Neither one of us had any reason to make it an early morning and I can tell you . . . we didn’t.

Dennis moved snow from the back door to the service door of the garage.  It looked like water underneath.  I think shoveling this snow is what would be labeled as a heart attack snow.  Dennis and the three porch kitties were content watching the snowfall during the entire forenoon and now into the afternoon.  Wise on all counts.  Randy, our next door neighbor, will be by later on today to clear the drive, and Dennis clears where the tractor and snowblower can’t get to.  Actually, Dennis is at that right now.  I checked, snowmobile boots on and a face mask on.  Wise fellow.  

Part of my morning was spent on the computer searching out the portion of the city’s plat map in regard to our holdings and the newly acquired lot via the tax forfeit sale of yesterday.  A map for Dennis to see is worth many, many words.

According to the radio, the winds are quite brisk.  The cancelations were many in the surrounding area.  We have no where to be, but there is a lot of traffic going by and not all that slow.  In today’s world, I wonder what it would take to keep people homebound.

My bag of safety pins got a workout this afternoon on Luella’s blanket.  Safety pins are the pits when it comes to my fingers and hands.  My sister didn’t close the safety pins when she had a project going.  Grant it, she had a long arm.  When fabric gets wrangled, the open pins would feel like little daggers.  Not for me.  That would be why an hour was all I put in on getting them to anchor the sandwiching of the layers.  Short durations on this project allows me to enjoy the books I stocked up on yesterday at the library and keeps the arthritic aching at bay.

It is indeed a winter wonderland outside.
