Winter Wonderland

To date, we have had a total of 45 inches of snow. 

Will it ever go away???!!!!

We are SO sick of the snow.  We are SO tired of being cooped up in the house.  We miss being able to get out and do things with PEOPLE!!  It is TOO cold to get out and go anywhere.  Let alone there seems to be nothing to do around here in the dead of winter and in the middle of a deep freeze. 

The snow is pretty to look at, BUT it gets very old very fast!!  We've had snow on the ground since November.  NOVEMBER I say, and apparently it will be on the ground till April and maybe as late as May.  Come on . . . YUK!!!  It's nice to have snow in December and especially for Christmas, but in April for Easter.  We are so hoping by the time we return from our trip to Iowa/Illionis/Ohio in May that the snow will be GONE!!  It would definitely be very refreshing to see NO snow when we come back!!

Even our big Saint Bernard dog doesn't like the snow anymore.  She goes out and does her business and before we know it she is at the door barking for us to let her in.  She NEVER barked to come in back home.

We are very thankful to members from the church and neighbors that have come over and either plowed or used their snowblowers to help clear our driveway so we can get out.  I'm not sure how we'd manage without them.  The driveway is not huge, but too big for someone to actually use a shovel and dig out.  The kids have been very helpful too and have shoveled the concrete part of the driveway.  However, it was a novelty at first and now they are a little tired of it. 

Snow, Snow, GO AWAY!!!!
