Re: Snow day

Donna, that's a real blizzard. What we got is pretty much as I expected - it is do-able. This morning I shoveled the drive approach where the snowplow plowed me in, huge hard boulders of snow. Got an adtl inch or two after last night's shoveling. Did the sidewalk too. It's a beautiful day w a clear blue sky. I plan to tackle several projects around the house since my office is closed today. Maybe even do a little baking if I go to the store later.
Has anyone heard from Chris Lindsey? He hasn't responded to a couple of emails I sent. I know he is extremely busy, but I am curious if the Bon Vivant catalog will be updated. The page says "Here are some of our plants for Spring 2007." - the word I'm concerned about is "some".

ha... I did the same thing yesterday.... a few times. This morning there is a 5ft drift in the way of me getting out of my driveway and a few shorter ones that the SUV isn't going to clear... Snow up to the windows on the south side of house.... It has buried my patio furniture on the west side and even the pond is totally covered and over the bridge which I estimate makes it 3ft deep 
there too..(not good, gonna loose my fish!).. they are predicting another
couple of inches for me today then the deep freeze comes till the weekend... sigh. They claim we got 9 inches, hard to say with the drifting. Birds are 
on their own today, since I can't even get to the feeders unless I go thru
some major drifts. (which is rough when you are 5ft 2 inches tall!)  Might
just throw some seed out there and hope for the best.

I doubt I will make it
to work today.... I planned ahead and brought stuff to do from home and warned 
my boss yesterday.

To those who are getting this storm today- watch it-
especially if you get the winds that came here with it!

And to those in the
south.... watch out for those twirly's.

I just spent the
past 90 minutes shoveling my driveway.  Mostly about 10
inches, some high
points about 15in and of course some low points.  It's
still coming down and
I'll have to shovel again in the morning, but at least
a large amount is
doneand out of the way.  As it stands right now I don't
work tomorrow but
that could change, so I don't want to have to be shoveling
to get to work.
Also, I spent the whole day inside on computer projects
and then watched some
tv.  It felt good to get out and move around.  I did
have to come in several
times to briefly warm my hands though.  They just
can't take the cold.

S'posed to rain here today, but

hasn't yet. Just gloomy instead. Nice and

warm, though--mid-70s.



Meantime, I've cleaned up a 10-gallon nursery pot and this afternoon, if

it

doesn't rain, I'm going to paint it purple and plant something [don't

know

what, yet] in it tomorrow.


Also making a batch of strawberry jam.

Snow day


here, we just get to fend for ourselves.   It was a scary ride

in, not

much
snow, but the wind is icing the roads terrible and the

plow/salt trucks

can't keep it off the road as it is the light powdery

stuff.  News crews

where a couple blocks from my home showing the world

just how bad it

.....

Wish I was
home....

I am sorry to hear

about New Orleans.... geesh, can they get a break!

Well, I suppose I'll have to eat my words, maybe

just a few syllables.

They sent us home from work at 10AM, the county

declared a snow

emergency.  But still, it is February in neIN, ya gotta

expect this

sorta thing.
