BRRRRRRRRRRRR- Snow - a 4 letter word that's overused lately!

I went home at lunch to dig out the driveway if the snowplow had made a pass, and he did so got to dig out the end, and move the last 3/4" off from after I went to work.

We had at least 5" last night and added to the already - too much we had before, I am running out of room. As you cn see it's getting harder to get it high enough to get it off the driveway! The street end is up to my shoulders, so let's hope it thaws sometime before June 1! It's already difficult to see to get out on the street.

Will try to take another photo from the street.....

THINK SPRING

I know its only the first week of January, but I've had enough winter! It may be because the mailbox has had garden catalogs with beautiful flowers on the covers every day this week.

In my first half century of life I've discovered that I much prefer mowing grass to shoveling snow, and would rather be hot than cold, and see no reason to change at this point in my life.

The stores start promoting Christmas in September and it seems like it's here before you know it, so I am personally going to promote Spring starting in January and hope it works the same way!

Just think how nice it would be to smell the newly mowed lawn, to dig in the dirt and cut a few fresh flowers to put on your desk.......warm nights to enjoy the patio with a glass (or two) of wine,

fresh picked tomatoes....

P.S. I don't want to hear from any smart mouthed southern daughter & fiance on how high the tulips are or how hard it is to go from 32 in the AM to 70's in the PM..... I want it to be Spring in Iowa!
