Okay, so these are pictures of Monday, Feb. 28th, not pictures of yesterday
or today... Bear with me, I've been busy... Bozoette did a Three Photo Day entry a few days ago. In fact, her pictures were from Friday and she wrote it as her Saturday entry, so I figured I could take pictures on Monday and post them on Tuesday, except I had no time at all to do that on Tuesday, so here it is as a Wednesday entry. So here's my Monday in three photographs.
Tuesday morning, of course, I had to shovel that snow. The day began a little bit earlier than usual -- a 5:10 a.m. phone call to tell Nancy that the start of school would be delayed by one hour because of the storm. It drifted so much in our driveway -- this storm had some fierce winds around here -- that I'm not really sure how much we got. I've heard from five to nine inches various places in our town. I had about five or six inches on the left side of the driveway and closer to a foot on the right side. Jill's car was parked next to mine and there was a sculptured ridge of snow about a foot and a half high curving between them. It took me about an hour of shoveling Tuesday morning to clear things out. Jill's car was blocking Nancy's side of the garage, so Nancy moved Jill's car and parked it behind mine and then backed her car out of the garage and drove off to work. A short time later she phoned to say she couldn't find her reading glasses. I checked the kitchen and the garage and then out to the driveway -- there they were, the tires of her car must have missed them by just inches. I set off to bring them to her -- got about two blocks up the street where the road curved and and my car decided to continue going straight, right into a bank of plowed up snow. I was stuck in the snow. I was about to go back home and get a shovel when a neighbor came out with a shovel and cleared away some snow and then he and another neighbor pushed me out of the snowbank. (Have I mentioned that I like my neighborhood!) Made the rest of the trip without mishap, then came back home and got back to work. Class last night. Light snow on the way home. Woke up this morning to find about an inch of snow in the driveway -- it didn't take long to clear it away but I am getting very tired of winter weather. |
