Eskie, will be happy to send some of this your way; way plenty to share and more to come.

Waggiedog, hope your Dad is doing better.

In getting our annual amount of snow within less than two weeks, let alone what came before that, and more to come in the next four days, I am more than tired of it as it has become overwhelming, bundling up, digging, and snow blowing, never ending. Besides being sore too, I have no place left to go with it. You may not hear from me soon because will be buried in it.

I have to get to work too even on days they declare an emergency due to working at the hospital; I worry about being out in it and (hate is strong word I don't use lightly but) I hate the below freezing temps. More so I really hate not being able to help my folks who are unable to dig themselves out when it comes during the day, if it comes instead while I am at work. It has been so hard on everyone, it is time for it to stop. I am sure the winter sporters are loving this though. At least someone is enjoying it.

The only bright spot here is watching the critters; they love, love, love the mounds to run and jump into them along the edge of the drive and the road, until they bury themselves on the other side and have to go rescue them. Bless their hearts not understanding how really deep it is right now, well over their heads and up to my chest where there are no mounds. Fortunately they are getting better about it.

I can't even begin to think what a heck of a mud season it is going to be when all this melts. I just pray there won't be flooding.

Stay safe and warm meanwhile everyone.
