This is as far as we got this morning shoveling out of our big snow from yesterday. I don't know how those people do it who live in places where they get this kind of snow on a regular basis. These piles of snow on either side of the driveway are about 3 to 4 feet high. Jeff and I started at 6:00 am and worked for over an hour and we still have another 1/3 of the driveway yet to do. We got enough shoveled for Jeff to get out this morning, but I am not going anywhere as the center of the culdesac has at least 18" to 20" as the snow blows from the burm and stays in the middle of our street. Until we get a plow in here, we are stuck. During the last snow a week or so ago, it took until around 3:00 pm for the plow to make it to us. I am not hopeful for today. However, the sun is shinning and there is nothing better or brighter than snow shinning on a new blanket of snow. My yard looks like it is filled with diamonds.
This was the front porch yesterday afternoon. This moring the gorilla (yeah, Pittsburg State) and the snowman were covered in snow. All I could see was the head of the snowman and poor Gus was totally buried.
At the height of the blizzard, we could barely see across the back yard.
My Mom and I had a bet going, she thought the snow would cover the wagon and only the handle would be seen. I have to admit she was on the way to winning, as at one point the snow was up to the writing on the side, but with the wind blowing through, you can even see more of it today. Sorry, Mom I win :o)
Because I work at home, this is what I call snowed in, too bad it just does not keep me from working. Now I cannot see out, I cannot drive out, I am feeling a bit claustrophobic, I may need recusing by the end of the day. If I start feeling sweaty and my legs start twitching I'll call for help. Does 911 come for a self-employed gal going stir crazy?
Okay, just so you know, the bet was ..... if I won I could continue to stay here "free" with Judy and Jeff for a bit longer, if Judy won, then I would have to start paying room and board!!! (can you believe)? Well, in light of the fact that she admits at the end of her blog that she is going "crazy" - I'm packing my bags and getting out of here - snow or no snow - and heading for sunny California - where there is no snow and no room and board charges:)
Now in saying all that - gotta admit I love all 3 of my daughters and the fun we have when we are together!!!
