more snow
March is almost here, yet we’re still in winter. Robins have appeared. I’ve heard the bluebirds but haven’t seen them yet. Of course, they’re just coming out of the woods. I am REALLY tired of shoveling. I’m waiting for it to stop blowing, then I’ll suit up and go do it. Until you live in…

working
Gosh, its been a bit since I’ve written. I did go cross-country skiing, it was quite a work-out but really fun. If I wasn’t into NOT buying stuff, I’d look into buying a pair of skis for that. Fair Hill was lovely, quite a few other cross-country tracks though. I found out that my car…

Tired
Well, it’s taken a few days to get back to writing. Had to get to work Friday. Catching up on chores this week-end. Still going by too quickly! I’m going cross-country skiing tomorrow. I’m seriously hoping I can actually do it without expiring! I run out of air so quickly. Perhaps I should follow-up that…

Out!
My good friend made it. All plowed out. He noted that another ‘substantial’ storm is now predicted, and the dilemma is becoming what to do with all the snow? I gave him money for gas but he really would have been ok with not getting it. Such a sweet young man. A friend of my youngest…

Sunday afternoon
Finished shoveling for now. I decided getting into the 4 back doors was enough. The front sidewalk is still pristine. I am not plowed out yet. Not sure whether to bother my friend who has kept me plowed this year. I saw him go by earlier this afternoon, but it’s getting later . . .…

Snowy day . . .
In order to get out my front door, I’ll need to shovel through 2′ of snow. Now it’s starting to blow. Not much sense in trying to get out until it settles down I think. Well, at least I don’t want to go out in that snowy, blowy mess quite yet. The cats are frustrated.…
