the week before last we had a couple huge storms come through that dropped a few feet of snow. a snow day came and went and then warmer temperatures brought rain and melted away the snow. last sunday was a beautiful day and i was able to go outside, do some clean up and tied up more of the wisteria.

what a difference a week makes. the temperatures are now in the teens for the highs and we are dropping to subzeros for the lows. on saturday, a storm came and dropped some snow. high winds later on drifted the snow into 3 to 4 foot piles. frozen car doors took people by surprise (i am sooo glad that we have a garage).

after church, i got home and pulled out the snowblower to clear the driveway. with the wind blowing to the northeast, i had to send the snow away from me so i wouldn't get blasted with the cold white. the plow came and pushed the snow around on the street, creating a clean, glossy, icy deck. when he was about done, we waved to each other and he headed up the street creating a berm in front of the houses, save mine. thank mr. plow for not blocking my freshly cleared driveway. . .
