As if we didn't have enough snow, last night we got another 16 inches of snow!! On top of the 3 1/2 feet we already had! We also lost power for about 3 or 4 hours. During that time Harold and I got out the oil lamp, and a few tall candles and played card games and ate mixed nuts. A person has to make the best of things, right? The road grader/plow came up part of our driveway, which helped a lot. I just got done shoveling for about 45 minutes and I'm already sore. Harold got up at 2 a.m. and took the snow off the roof of the greenhouse because it was already starting to cave in from the heavy load of snow. He spent an hour out there with a snow rake.
Here are some pictures I just took:

| Any bets on how long it'll take to get my car out of here? The poor cat house is almost completely buried. Harold dug out small space for them around 2 a.m. so they could get out. |
 |
| It's a scary world for the cats right now. |
 |
| After a lot of shoveling we managed to get a path. This is not a good year for the snow blower to be broken down!! |
 |
| Look at my poor greenhouse now! |
 |
| After hours of shoveling four "little helpers" came out to play! Harold managed to get the 4 wd pickup out, so at least we have a vehicle to use. |
Do I dare say that on Wednesday the weathermen are predicting MORE snow? This time it's only supposed to be a few inches. Hey - what's a few more inches when you have this much already? I don't think we're going to have a spring this year.

I would dare say that turning around with that snow plow could be a little hairy too. Another snowfall and your greenhouse may disappear from view. You and Harold would have another game to play--find the greenhouse. I have to say though, like at our place, the snow on the evergreens is like frosting and looking around at the rest of the snow, one has to agree that there is beauty in it, especially when the sun is shining. W/O sun it's sort of dismal. Just think of the hot, hot summer days and the snow will give you comfort. No?
Wow!!
