I have a bunch of excuses why I haven’t been keeping up on the blog, but they are just that, excuses, so I’ll spare you the whining.
We are having some amazing weather so far this winter. Had a record snowfall of 23 inches in 24 hours last week. And it’s been snowing almost every day since. I think we are pushing somewhere around 36″ total now. What’s been really amazing is that it really hasn’t been that bad. Despite the three feet of snow, and sub zero temperatures we are getting around ok. I just know, there’s a life lesson in there somewhere, but for the life of me, I can’t articulate it.
The truth is, I like snow. Especially when it’s good and cold out, and doesn’t melt and refreeze. I enjoy running the snowblower when it’s 12 degrees F out. It’s kinda like mowing the lawn in the summer, but with a whole lot more clothing. The only real problem is that now the kids are out for Christmas break, they are starting to get cabin fever and driving the wife crazy. And like they say, “When mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy!”. And of course since I’m working from home for the next two or three weeks, I’m right in the thick of it.
