Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…until Monday

Well, we got our first snowfall of the year and it’s beautiful. Mom is worried (as she tends to do, worry) about the electricity going out and all the things that can go wrong.  And yes there are a lot of things that can go wrong but I kinda like to look at the glass a little fuller. Not to say when I was outside taking pictures that those tall trees creaking in the wind didn’t give me pause…like big pause..However, I’m prepared otherwise.

yea – these are tall – and they creak in the wind and I really don’t want one of these on the house, on the car or on anything.

In preparation of the snow storm I gathered my wood which I do about twice a week – well I’m in the yard gathering kindling a couple of times a week – this log run I try not to do very often:

The wood pile I visit to load up
my car – my sports car – not my pickup truck – but it’s a very versatile and patient car and is willing to be there for me…so far
add the kindling that I gather in the yard and this is what the porch looks like

So see?  Now we’re good to go in the event of a power outage for heat – if we stay in front of the fire – for a couple of days anyway.

We have enough water stored to flush toilets for a year – not a lot of drinking water but I’m pretty sure with temps up in to the 60’s by Wednesday we’re going to be okay.

a small sample of what is stored around here – you should have seen how much she used to have

I am loving this snow.  First of all it’s my first snowfall in 3 years and it’s just beautiful.  Second I’m prepared and third it’s the weekend and I’ve nowhere to go – which is a good thing as I don’t know how I’d get out of this driveway.  I do have someplace to be on Monday so I’m hoping it melts by tomorrow???

Also the brightness of the snow makes the whole house brighter.  You would not believe how dark it is inside a wood/log house.  So today it’s brighter, it’s beautiful looking outside and it’s about to get even cozier when I light that fire and sit in the chair with a book.  Just like Christmas 🙂

And then back up to 67 next Friday.  I am liking this climate for sure!

  3. My favorite part of the snow is that it is the “great equalizer” – no one can see the various weeds growing in my yard!! Haha. It all looks so pretty 😛
