Well, we have had some problems in recent days getting out of our driveway. Actually, Jay took me into town yesterday and when we returned he tried backing into the garage. I say "tried' because the area we would normaly pull forward in was packed with a huge drift and a couple of times he got hung up in the snow. We had limited accessibilty up the driveway and to the garage until late yesterday.
We have had a path cleared in our driveway by a congregational member's snowblower, another congregational member's bladed truck, a neighbor's push behind snow blower, and then yesterday by yet another congregational member's husband's apparatus. I use the word 'apparatus' because I'm not really sure what it actually is. I believe my husband called it a skidster (is that even a word) with a huge snowblower on the front. It was so cool to watch and of course I had to take pictures . . .
Here, Mr. T, is coming in at the base of the driveway with the snow remover. Look at that hard packed drift we've been manuevering around to get into our driveway.
He cleared so much of the drive and even into the yard that hopefully if we get anymore of this ridiculous white stuff it won't cause as much a problem in the driveway anymore.
LOOK . . . you can see an actual path to travel safely.
He even cleared that enormous mound of snow on Jay's side of the garage/driveway, which will make getting into the garage A LOT easier.
He cleared the area around the propane tank, which is AWESOME because we are hoping to have that price gauging tank removed and replaced with one a little friendlier on our pocketbook. Which we were wondering how we were going to clear the snow around it so it could be removed and replaced. YAY, that's now taken care of too!!
Jay took some pictures of Zack near some of the deeper mounds to give a little perspective of how deep they are. Now, you have to keep in mind, Zack is almost as tall as me (5'4 3/4").
So, a HUGE THANK YOU to all those who have helped us in our driveway dilemmas! If I have counted correctly, there has been a total of four 'snow removal fairies' that have come to our resuce.
THANK YOU!!

Angie, I think you should write a book??! I am just saying that it might help someone who is not so sure if they could do it AND you write so well. Love your JJ page. Think about it. See you soon.
You know what I'm noticing is the difference between your new home and your old one?
Besides the enormous amount of snow, that is.
(Although we've have more than EVER before, ourselves!)
The sun seems to always be shining where you are. Your snowy pictures have the blazing sun in the background. Us, we're grey. Grey.Grey.Grey.
And I know it goes well with scarlet :) but it's hell to live under day after day.
Sigh.
Lovin' your sun.
(You can keep your snow :))
