All day yesterday everyone Around Here posted Facebook images for the amusement of everyone from Away. The only things that are different today are that it has stopped and the sun is shining out there. The county plow has been through. The Duo think it comes just to make a racetrack for them. Yes, it really does look blue in the dawn shadows.
The last time Dale Reedy was here to plow my drive he was morose. This is the last one for the season, he mourned. Ha. All I can say is that if somebody finds out he took the blade off his truck last week he’s in trouble. Whenever he does that before May we get another big pile of snow.
I’ll bet he’s been plowing for the last 48 hours straight. Hasn’t gotten here yet–he knows I suspect him of Premature Plow Removal–but it doesn’t matter. My car is still in the hospital. We have a diagnosis: a bad Body Control Module. I can relate. Anyway, no car to get out of here. Very restful.
Fortunately, I do not have an auto delivery route for the Record-Eagle. Dean Peters has the route, and a sturdy vehicle. He got my paper here yesterday and he got it here today–before the plow came. I am deeply impressed, and I thought you ought to know. Here is your slideshow. I’m going to go read the paper. I’ve seen this movie.

Oooh cold!!! Kiwi’s remedy for deep snow and going nowhere: warm fire in the hearth, a mug of your favourite warm beverage, a blanket and a good book 🙂

Don’t you just hate re-runs 😉
Is the dog on the right wearing a fur muff ? Or is it part lion ?
Snow picks are lovely. I love seeing snow picks around Christmas time.
Late March — not so much.
Lovely pics. Pretty blue. BUT IT’S DAMN SNOW !!! Sorry but I feel a lot better getting that off my under-endowed chest.
Hope your car feels better soon.

The dog on the right is The Cowboy and those are his ears. He is lion-hearted but spaniel-furred. His owner neglects his grooming shamefully. (For future reference, the dog on the left is Miss Sadie. She does have all four paws; one of them is lifted gracefully. She is a tidy terrier who does not require excessive grooming. She, too, has the heart of a lion.)
Perhaps we should declare this Christmas time and play some holiday music.

Thanks for reminding me why I wasn’t too sad to leave the upper Midwest.

Ah well, snow isn’t for everyone. It was a gorgeous day, though. Nothing like blue skies and sunshine to make the Bay sparkle. And that’s the part that always makes me glad to be here. This is where we keep the water.

They look like they are making the best of the situation. And they had such a beautiful day to enjoy today 🙂

They are. They are snuggled up in front of the furnace resting up from a very nice after-supper walk. It was a pretty evening and we all enjoyed it.
