Tuesday snow ramblings

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Sharon Lee's Virtual Assistance

Good morning everyone-Well we got our snowstorm last night and I woke up earlier than normal because I knew I would have to sweep my way to the house from the woman cave. Only about 50' but long enough when you are clearing a path and only have sneaks on your feet because you don't own a pair a boots. We got 7" of snow yesterday and overnight.

It does change the look of the yard and everything surrounding it. I am thankful I don't have to deal with this kind of weather often. No snowblower to take care of it. I am not a fan of shoveling. It looks like maybe a truck with a plow came down thru sometime but no plans to go anywhere today but tomorrow I have two appts so hopefully I can get out to do so.

But even more important hope I can go to Raleigh NC on Thursday but not sure if it will happen.  We are due for more snow Weds night and wintry mix on Saturday. I had made plans to leave Thursday and come back Sunday. A huge RV show is happening Fri-Sun at the fairgrounds in Raleigh. Their weather while similar didn't get this snow and the temps are better so we shall see

I took a few pics of the snow today and they reminded me of a few songs

WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND BY

A HOST OF ARTISTS OVER THE YEARS

After the path to the house I had to clean out around the feeders for the birdies so it would be easier for them to get to the food on the ground as well as the feeders

Because that area above and this tree below right outside my window is a hub of activity with birdies. They need lots of fuel for the frigid temps now and coming up. Tonite will be only 5* and the next two nights below zero temps at nights. I can tell you they eat a LOT of food when it is cold out.

These are a few of the yard. It looks like a vast winterland of snow and will until it warms up again which won't be til probably Sunday when it is due to rain and be 50*

Another song that this reminds me of is the The "Rose" by Bette Midler because beneath all this snow lies a rose(s) and other flowers that will bloom again in Spring

Sharon your pictures actualllly look so pretty to me!  The black and white makes it seem 'chilly'.  Good luck on getting to the RV show in Raleigh!  I heard there was a big RV show going on here in Phoenix this weekend but nobody will have a problem getting there.

Sharon,

How lovely, and you ought to get a pair of rubber boots that would be useful in your garden as well as days like this...Thanks for sharing all that snow with us, and I hope you get to Raleigh on Thursday, A

Kristin-You get your share there and glad you aren't shoveling with your back inflammation.

Nicole-I am thankful we don't get much of it. I wouldn't mind it if I didn't have to go anywhere and it would melt without shoveling it which most of the time it does. I grew up in NY. so I am used to it as well. Where in Michigan?

Anna-Yes I agree pretty but not when you have to dig out so you can get out for tomorrow and hopefully Thursday. I hope I make it too.

Alexandra-Have to be careful what I wear on my feet in this weather especially. You and me both. I am hoping for sure.

Myrl-My neighbors kids are doing that in their driveway. That looks more sloped than it is.

Thank you Jon. I am done for the day but the back is grumpy but I will rest and use heat and ice. I would like CA winters.

You are lucky you don't have what we have.  Not having boots is NOT an option here, LOL.

Sharon-Don't I know it and I did have them when I lived in NY with your kind of winters. I have a dressy pair but don't know if they would fit anymore plus I would be more afraid of falling in them than my sneakers

That was so nice of you to clear the snow around the feeders. Now the birds can peck off of the ground, too. By now you ought to have some nice spring weather. We certainly are.

Debbie-I like taking care of my birds because with the cold and snow they need more fuel. Today will be a sunny 71* so definirely Spring like. Hope you have a great weekend

We got hit with another storm today. So far only about four to five inches, but it might continue through the night. Yikes...that's going to be some difficult shoveling in the morning.

We are still waiting for snow in my part of the country. The forecasters think this might be a drier and warmer than normal winter for us. I still haven't gotten my winter coat out.

Debbie Laity -I am glad I don't have to deal with too much snow here and will have even less if I spend February in Phoenix and Utah.
