True to the forecast: It has dumped quite a bit of snow. First icy drizzle, then beautiful large flakes that when they landed on your jacket you could see each one was different.

I did push a bit of the snow so traveling from the house to the garage could be done without snow shoes. It is wet. It is heavy. The snow pushing was to get rid of some angst. When websites have designs to sell it is usually a smooth transition. Not so today. Of all the files that the designs could be converted to correctly, the EXP file could not. I must have my Bernina Art Link program open to receive files that are specific to EXP. The EXP file went straight to opening it in a Microsoft Word program. So not going to give a happy ending. I have worked with Amanda, my Bernina gal, in Bird Island, enough to know that from the get-go, there should be a list of the options for the download. My bad. I should have moved right on to an alternate website when the product information was lacking. $5.00 shot right up the butt. Live and learn.

Dennis and I had our snow removal gear ready by the back door when the long green line of Randy’s John Deere was already on the driveway. Last year when I visited with Jan about “Ready Eddy Randy” she just chuckled. The rest of the story is that Randy loves to play in the snow. We surely wouldn’t want to take that away from him. We’ll be going out a bit later and tidy up around the doorways. I think this snow is going to stay for a bit.
