Sunday afternoon, after choir practice, our car thermometer read 52 deg. and I talked everyone into a walk around the block when I got home. We only needed light jackets or long sleeves, and it was beautiful out! The flavor of spring was everywhere. I looked all over the front yard when we got home for tender spring bulb sprouts. You know what? I couldn't find one!! They must have known this was coming!
You can see from my pic that I gave up shoveling after getting halfway through the driveway. I'd already driven over it twice to get Sharra from school, what was the point? I did make a path through the sidewalk to the front door and then out to the street so we could collect the mail and unfortunate souls who may have to trek to our door would not have to traverse the Snow Plow Mountain. The snow didn't stop until sometime after I went to bed last night at 11pm. CRAZY!!
It was fun to have a chance to play in it with the kids again though. Aviendha got her first experience with it on her own. She hated her boots, gloves and hat. In these pics you can see that she removed gloves and hat right after getting outside. Sharra made a cave for her litle Capt. HuggyFace. Sam made several "nests" for himself around the yard--he was continually intrigued that he could sit "so deep" in the snow. Ginny was my little shoveling helper around the sidewalks. She even got out their plastic lawnmower out to help me "mow the snow away". And where was my snowblower, you ask? In the shed!! Adam put it there Friday afternoon and I was NOT going to shovel a path through the back yard just to get it out. -sigh- I know he was only excited for the spring-like weather, but if we get anymore storms like this, he's in charge of ALL snow-removal.
