after a quiet start to winter, central illinois got a snowy blowy storm that dumped like 8 inches & then sculpted those inches into knee deep drifts that have turned my yard into an obstacle course requiring a workout just to get to the goats & ducks.
also, i had to dig out my driveway, both for the mail delivery person as well as for my own plans to ever leave the house. i don’t have a snowblower or a plow. i did it by hand & was more than impressed with how strong i am as well as how fit yoga has kept me. i don’t even have a sore back.
this morning we got the added element of frosting on all the trees & bushes & anything sitting still enough to be frosted.

Wow someone has a talent. Yes I’m a big fan also. Living by the sea we don’t get enough of it. A snow day to us is like birthdays and Christmas rolled into one.

one year in wisconsin i was pregnant & it snowed like crazy. i went off the road once & had to get my car back on the road by myself. another time i was hit on a snowy road & my car was totaled.
yet still, every time it snowed–which was seemingly non-stop, i would be all, “snow–yay!”
maybe i was a husky in a past life.

Haha, always new you were Amazonian. It snow’s here and the world stops. We just don’t know how to cope with bad weather.
