Snow in front of our house
It has been snowing a lot the past couple of days, I know it’s Alaska and it’s supposed to snow, but I’m so ready for spring! Yesterday I spent almost two hours shoveling the driveway in blizzard like conditions. I finally decided that I was exhausted and just could not throw one more shovel full of snow over my shoulder and that as long as there was a path to get the car out of the driveway it was good. I came inside took off my layers and ran my fingers through my hair and what did I find? Icicles! In my hair. Crazy. The snow continued to fall and then the wind started to blow. All of my hard work was done in vain! So while I was changing into dry warmer clothes my Monkey walks out the front door in her underwear and swimsuit top and stands on the porch! Children! My neighbor came home and the snow was so deep she couldn’t get in her garage. Her dad came over with his snow blower and blew her driveway and mine! I was so grateful, I offered to pay him but he said it wasn’t necessary it was his pleasure to help us out! Monkey decided she just had to go out and play in the backyard, so I helped her get into all her snow gear. She was outside for two minutes. Two minutes!!! Today, the wind has been blowing and the snow has been falling. Don’t get me wrong, it is beautiful. On the other hand, I have seen snow since October and now I’m ready for any other color besides white! There is more snow in the forecast. Seriously, how much more snow can we get??
