Well, I Say.............!!!!


I knew we were going to have a storm late last night.  The weatherman (it wasn't a weatherwoman) said 8-10 inches were expected.  Well, he lied was wrong.  As of noon, we had 24" of snow and it's still coming down heavy.

Being my last day of vacation, I slept in awhile if you call till 8:00 a.m. sleeping in.  When I went out there I could not believe my eyes. 

I have not had to shovel snow in three years.  But there was no getting around this one.  I couldn't even open my car door.  Reinforcement arrived in the form of a neighbor who helped me shovel.  Now, the driveway was plowed but we still had to shovel around the car.

Once upon a time,  young boys would shovel for money.  Not anymore.



and about four hours later...............my car is there somewhere!


I am participating in a 365 photo challenge.  There's a link on the right for your viewing pleasure.  It is not a blog as such and no comments are expected.  Just enjoy!  Occasionally, the same pictures may be in my knitting blog. 

Happy Knitting!

  7. Well what do you expect from a man? I am happy to report, it missed us. We were just far enough inland that the lake effect didn't get us this time. However, about 10 miles west of us, it is a different story. Renate

  9. Love your snow pictures, but sorry you had trouble getting help. I guess all the neighborhood kids are too busy with their computers, and don't even know how to use a shovel anymore! Sigh...
