Our electric snowblower's cord frayed, and then it hit a rock or something and deformed, and it was going to be expensive to fix. Plus, it never really worked well since it didn't have enough weight to dig down into the snow. One of my friends sold me her old one, so we're set for … Continue reading Snowblower!
Because my trees are idiots. The apricots: The cherries. In FULL bloom, ready to go aaaaand... it snowed today and will be in the 20s tonight. **tears**
There have been some massive storms moving through the country, and a lot of people are without heat or power. But Tundra is a dog, and all he cares about is that he can play in the snow. He hates the camera, so I had to be sneaky to get a photo. He was rolling … Continue reading Snow Dogs Be Snow Dogs
Why don't I remember to bring my camera with me when I go places?!? Whyyyyyy?!? We had a heavy snowfall here over two days, and this is the only photo I managed to take of it: This is the first evening. My husband beat me to the snow shoveling, which I wasn't surprised about because … Continue reading Snow~!
It was warm out, day and night, and it was nearly the final frost date for this area. I checked the weather, and they expected the next two weeks to be balmy and nice. So I planted my tomatoes and basil outside. They didn't even stay out there three days. My mom called to warn … Continue reading I Swear I Checked the Weather
We woke up this morning to this: There's a sort of hush when snow is coming down and deep like this. It's lovely, but as the day goes on you hear snow blowers starting, people shoveling, the snow plow. My husband does most of the shoveling, though I try to help. I herniated a disc … Continue reading We FINALLY Own a Snow Blower
It snowed here! It has actually snowed twice, but the first time it melted off before Tundra could get his walk, and he was The Pouty Puppy. The second time it snowed, it was in the evening, and we put him out on the lead. He nosed around the yard and then came up onto … Continue reading Tundra Loves the Snow!
We had quite a bit of snow recently, and once my work declared a snow day I retrieved my shovel and went trotting outside to help. Not even three shovelfuls of snow, and my husband shooed me back into the house. So I went out the other door and started again. When we got close … Continue reading Snow and Ice Because Winter Ain’t Done Yet
Last Sunday, I went to bed with nary a snowflake in sight. At 4:30am Monday morning, the text came in - our office was closed! Which prompted me dragging myself out of bed and canceling appointments. Meanwhile, I looked outside, and it didn't look particularly bad. Little did I know that they hadn't plowed the … Continue reading Had a Snow Day!
It snowed about 8 inches or so, and it was nasty driving for a few days, but today it's beautiful out. We went to my in-laws' during the storm and came back home for drinks. And then we drunkenly staggered around shoveling snow. It turned out surprisingly well considering my lack of interest in this … Continue reading It Snowed~!
