Snow Storm Fun

Spring is here but winter just caught up with us.  We've gotten at least a foot of the white stuff.   We called our neighbors (Rick and Kitty Vander Wey) to see if they had seen the snow plow yet....."nope".  So we are pretty sure that we are not able to get out.  So there will be no meeting at the Detention Center tonight.  We are unhappy about that .....!  But we are very thankful for all the moisture that is coming -- yes it is still snowing --- has been since about midnight Monday night. 

 The poor birds were really struggling to hang on at the feeder.


Seeing as how Gary was bored ---- too nasty to work outside .......  sssoooo --- a project was in order.   I had all the "workings" for a floor lamp, so we went to work.  The pole is a Diamond Willow that I had cleaned up several years ago.    I guess our only thought for changing anything on it - would be to make the base a little darker.  Right now it only has a coating of oil. 
Well ---- now we need another project - so I have my thinking cap on - but Gary is watching the weather channel on TV.    Guess he is hoping for a change in the weather.

So glad you have gotten all that moisture. I have been thinking about borrowing our neighbors canoe so I can get to the garden. :) :) Dave and Linda
