Wow, what a storm

I am now convinced we are going to have snow forever. And no rubbing it in from the cheap seats in Nova Scotia!!! It snowed all day on Saturday and I was so thankful we didn't have to venture out. I had to shovel the back door open so our dog could go out, and when she got to the bottom of the steps, she disappeared! All we could see was the top of her back and the tip of her tail, and she is a big ole hound dog! All day long the wind blew, and the snow scoured the house. Many times we couldn't see the other houses, and it certainly was an isolating feeling. And my honey wasn't home to snuggle with!! I prayed all day long that Mr. Vair, our dear neighbour could get the snowblower working. My neighbour sent me some pictures so I could share them here...

This is my dh's van. Somewhere. I think you can just see a bit of the front of it. The window is my bathroom window. I had to shovel the snow off the van, shovelling myself in during the process. We had an open house so I had to get the snow all cleared away. We had 8 couples through, pretty good for such a snowy day!



Can you see me here in my camoflauge coat?? my mil bought me a white coat. I have 3 children, one with mucky little fingers and I don't know how I will keep this thing clean, but I digress... This is after I got most of the snow shovelled off the van. The snow between our cars was up to mid thigh!! I could not open the doors!




Our house and my van from the road.




God is so great!! And Mr. Vair has now made his way up to Saint status!! St. Peter, Patron Saint of Snow Removal.



Now here is why I am really glad the snow blower worked........he blew it all on my side first!! ACK!! The snow hill in front of the shed now goes right over the shed on both sides. My dog can escape if she really thinks about it. Now worries with that, though! I don't think she holds any coherent thoughts, much like me!



Backing out of the driveway is interesting now...




The backyard, after I shovelled a path for the shed. I also dug a path ( it looks like a huge crevice!) for Mandi to get through to the yard.



Well, at least some people are happy with the snow! They are building lots of forts and having a blast.



Now we are all ready for the next snowstorm, which is coming soon!! I need to stock pile the chocolate now....

How about this place, I would like to be here right about now...
