Rocky Packed A Punch

Danny and Einstein reading the shopper, kicked back and enjoying the snow day. 

Snow started falling on Tuesday...No School...again on Wednesday....less snow on Thursday but most of the side roads are full  of snow.    Friday, no school...but it has taken 3 hours to do the chores....I am tired trying to walk through the snow up to my behinny.  I was very happy that Danny parked the pick up down by the road, just had to dig out a few feet.

Hay is stacked to the roof inside this shed but there is a drift at less 4 feet deep in front and out back.  Tomorrow we will move the snow to feed hay from this shed.

Thursday I cleared the sidewalk while Danny went grocery shopping at Kirksville.   He  went to Aldis, HyVee, and Walmart.  We can now make it through another storm if it decides to hit us next week.  Can you believe it, we have another chance for snow next Monday.

This picture was taken on Tuesday.  The wind blew and the snow was falling and drifting.

I enjoyed the snow and being isolated from the outside world, just Danny and me.  I guess you could say that I am a  stay at home person.    I have cooked, baked, made big pots of soup, rolls, and pots of hot tea.  I have also took my Toika Table loom apart and polished the wood with wood wax and then put it back together.   I have spun wool, knitted on baby booties.  I have also Skype d with Evan...he gets pretty demanding about skyping.    I have cleaned on the upstairs studio.  I have spent time with my animals inside and outside.   Wednesday morning we lost power about 7:30 AM...I was ready, made hot tea over a candle...my husband calls me Pioneer Woman...sorry Ree, he means that I could easily live the pioneer life.  (But I was very appreciative that the electric crew got our power back on in about 4 hours.)

We are thankful for the moisture.  God answers prayers.  We ask for rain but God chooses to give us snow.   I have faith that God has all things under control.
