Good Morning everyone,
I had a post all typed up and was just finishing it when I lost it due to operator error. So will start again.
Seems to be cold all over the whole country. The cold being experienced in FL and along the east coast is the same storm system affecting us. It's cold here too. 20 degrees and a fairly stiff breeze blowing. We are under a Lake Effect Snow Warning today for possible 2-4 inches of snow, but winds making blowing and drifting situations. In these lake effect conditions you never know what is going to happen. Wind shift and the whole picture changes.
I had planned to spend the day inside cleaning house and putting some of my stuff back up on my kitchen walls. But my next door neighbor called last night and asked if I could clear her drive out. Her house is up for sale and she has moved downstate to live with her son and daughter in law. I've been doing their drive for them for the past three winters. They pay me to clear it. When she moved this fall, she didn't say anything about it so I haven't bothered. But her real estate agent has been showing the house and the snow is getting a little hard to walk through, so would I mind doing it again No problem. So as soon as I finish up here, I am going to do up my breakfast dishes and get out there and start clearing drives. Hers and mine are both around 200 feet long. But hers is long and straight. I have about a 3-4 car width at top of mine, plus I also clear next to my garage and into my fenced in backyard, the which of I clear abuot half out for the furbabies, so they can take care of business and move about a bit. So depending on how much snow we get, I can be out there for 4 hours sometimes. But there are some areas around her drive I don't have to do now that nobody's living at the house. So that will cut down on time. And people ask me what I do in winter......
So I will probably clean house tomorrow instead, but might hang some stuff up on the walls today though. Then of course the furbabies are going to want to go for a walk..... Such is life in the north country in winter.
I ordered a Memory stick/adapter card from Amazon yesterday along with a spare adapter, so I will be in business in the camera dept. again by weeks end. Thank you to all who gave me ideas and tips on where to get them. More snow pictures will be forthcoming.
So I am going to bid farewell to you for this morning and get my act in gear around here. Have a great day and hope it warms up for you.
