Cold But Sunny Tuesday

Let's start our day with a good morning here.

Cold But Sunny Tuesday

Postby Colliemom » Tue Feb 19, 2019 8:35 am

Good Morning everyone. It's been awhile since I have posted here, so though I had better get my act together. Like O'Sharon mentioned a few posts back, I have been busy with projects, but have also been busy with Mother Nature. That endless parade of storms coming across the country have been giving us snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain, wind, you name it. Making things a bit miserable, cancelling schools for a lot of days and of course when done, we are out cleaning up. We now have had 95 inches of snow this season so far, still 10 inches below normal, but have gone from 11 to 28 inches of snow on the ground.

Thankfully, my snowblower does the majority of the work and I Have very little to shovel. ut the upside is, being out getting some fresh air and exercise. Our schools up here have been off 14 days since Jan. 7th and many others have been off more. Now they are figuring out where to make up the days that are over their Snow Day allotment and those days the State will forgive, cancelled sporting events like basketball games and other things. But the winter sports business is booming finally and everybody's been out enjoying the bountiful snow.

While all this has been going on, I decided to repaint my kitchen. So that's now done other than touchups and getting things put back where they belong. Giving things a good cleaning while I am doing it. Should finish it up tomorrow. It hasn't been a constant everyday thing as there are the run errands to town days when we have a break between the storms, clearing snow and so forth times, plus I also have been using my snow rake to pull some snow down off the house and garage roofs. Starting to pile up, up there.

Made another set of camping reservations last week have two more to do and then summer will be all set. Can't wait. My poor trailer is covered up, sitting in snow and looking so forlorn. I did use the rake on the roof yesterday to take down the over two feet of snow up there. Get some of the weight off it.

So, that's whats been going on in my world. Just busy. Once the kitchen is done, I have a closet rod to install in one closet and then am going to give the house a good cleaning and call it quits. Want to get on to other things like working on my camping scrapbook from last year etc. More fun stuff.

Guess I had better get a move on here. Need to get some pictures sent online to my local store here to be printed for scrapbook and get ready to head to town. Hope you all have a great day out there.

Nothing like yours, Sue, but this is Benson, AZ this morning. Through my windshield. Now going back to bed. :D

Lark thinks this morning's snow here in Benson was just for her birthday. We did go out and walk early before the wind and the sun had a chance to make it all go away. Have been staying inside since and staying warm and getting a few things done before heading farther East.
The sun is out and bright and I think I am about ready to take some dogs for a sight seeing tour.

Yep, just got back from visiting Lyn down in San Diego. Helped her get her photos posted and then we took a walk with Benji and got some lunch and chatted. Was a very nice visit! Drove along the PCH on the way home, the scenic route :D . I stopped at the dog beach in Del Mar. The tide was out so I (carefully) checked the tide pools but didn't see much. The dogs sure have fun there! Beautiful sunny day but chilly and breezy out.

Have a good day!

Sue & Beth, your pictures are pretty, but I like snow only in pictures. Tina, I've been following your adventures and soon you'll be seeing warmer temperatures. Lyn, I'm so glad you & Barbie were able to get together! I love the picture!

We only got into the high 70's today but were in the high 80's yesterday and tomorrow will be warm as well. Steve started taking golf lessons and we dog sit for a couple people here when they need us, so we stay busy. Still enjoying the FL sunshine.
