Insane week!

Well, there hasn’t been much time this week to ponder the icy conditions or anything else in the world. We’ve washed and folded a ton of laundry, the work week has been amazingly filled with tasks (All of which need completed by yesterday thanks.)
I had an interesting one day before yesterday. I was walking between [...]

Back to Normal… mostly

Things are slowly turning back to normal after the winter storm last week. We still have a big mess in our backyard to deal with, but the ice and snow is very slow to melt. The highest temperature we’ve had all week is 35. That makes for slow melting. Then at night it’s been dropping [...]

We’re Back!

That wasn’t so bad all things considered. Shortly after my last post our cable went out. No biggy, our Neftlix dvd’s came so we watched T3 Rise of the Machines then Jack and Melissa made an awesome spaghetti dinner. Just as we all got comfy after dinner to watch more movies, the power went out. [...]

Neighbor’s Tree

Remember I mentioned the neighbor’s tree making noise and dropping branches today? Well, we witnessed one fall a few minutes ago. It’s sticking straight up as it sort of now dangles over the fence. Our neighbor was home and we started talking across the fence when she came out to inspect the damage, then she [...]

This neighborhood knows how to have fun

Just wanted to add something to the stories. Last night Tracie and I walked to the Chevron up the road a ways to get some supplies, and on our trip we saw two people cross country skiing in the road, 3 people riding snowmobiles up and down the main roads, one person riding a Honda [...]

Icy Pictures

Jack brushed the snow out from under the ice forming last night and this was the result this morning

Jack tapped some of the ice off to get the limbs up off the ground.
taken yesterday (below) … the ice really pulled those limbs down!

I took one of the tree next door that’s been [...]
