Snow day!

We have had no plow on our streets and to top it off, they plowed the main road and thus added a whopping pile of snow at the end of ours (which is at the top of a hill).

That was from yesterday. It started snowing about 7am and that photo was from 2:45. It didn't stop snowing until about 8. We have about 5 inches. Now the temp has dropped to like 0 so salting is going to be pointless. The highway I take to work is all snow and ice.

I feel blessed to not have to go out today. It is so cold in Michigan. I think it's a coffee and reading day.

Sounds like a great idea, Sis!
LOL, Cal-Trans (State Highways contractor) does the same thing to our road Aibrean. Just to add insult to injury, they actually dump snow at the intersection to get it off the Highway! Sometimes we can face a six foot wall of packed snow at the intersection. This time of year, I always carry a shovel. Well, that doesn't make a dint in the snow-wall! I have to take a pick to it! When George worked with Cal-Trans, he got it across to whomever that dumping snow on a road was a bad idea. Still, the county never plows our road, so the Heilmans and I have quite a ways to push through snow to get to the Highway sometimes. John gets pretty grumpy about it. I for my part look at it more philosophically. If there's no snow to deal with I have no water in the summer. So, bring on the snow! The more the merrier, I say!;):p So far, it looks like there's going to be a really dry summer here in downtown Fawn Lodge...

Well, it's 1 degree here and -16 windchill temp. Our school is in session but I haven't gotten called in all week to sub. Ouch. I think I might need to find a new part-time job :(

Think about this, do you really want to go out when it's -16?:p^_^ Perhaps this is a small blessing in disguise?;) Though I do realise that it makes things a bit hard on paying the bills...

Yes, well... I guess there's no complaints in that department here. The temp yesterday was sixty and it's supposed to be sixty-one today. I guess the best thing to do is enjoy the nice weather and let this comming summer take care of itself?;):p

It's cold here, but the sunshine makes it bearable as does the progress we've been making on the house. Every day above ground and in God's mercy is a blessing. :)

this is most certainly true! Pastor Pechman says that each day is another gift of grace from God.

Today was the best day I've had in twenty-five years! I got to drive a team of four horses to a 1902 Studebaker MudWagon (open stagecoach)! I haven't driven a four-in-hand since 1984. Life was good this afternoon! My hands were really shaking when Dennis handed me the reins, but it only took a few minutes before it was all back. Hope I can go up and do it again soon!

Yep, I was Studebaker'in and STYL'IN baby! So much fun, just can't stop grinning.
