It seems that many days [weeks] have passed surrounded by snow;
actuality: since Christmas. but it seems so much longer to me this year [compared to..??? memory issues Ha]
Because outside walking is a tad "iffy"-- this snow does seem to be very confining [and slippery, too].
Watching the drivers in our area drive around the corner I am joining the ranks of those who watch rather than do.
It is an interesting experience to move to that side of the spectrum-[Spectrum...????--interesting concept.]
How quickly our perspective on life--living--OK--being basically confined to the inside of home--can alter our entire perspective on normal life experiences:
...the view of events is confined to a minimum of 2 window areas; kitchen & dining room
...the views entailed are further confined by the presence of horizontal blinds--[really great items]
...the additional difficulty of not moving as quickly as previously to 'outside views' in the two rooms
...the need to peak through the horizontal slats can give an incorrect impression of the one looking
...the danger of moving quickly on the ceramic floors add difficulty to the 'job' of keeping our area safe, Ha!
...the additional sound of the melting snow sliding off the house roof can be confused with outside 'trouble'
that needs one's immediate action. [usually happens in the early morning hours--ugh]
...the further awareness that my 'signigicant other' addresses my problem as being nosy--[how rude!]
OK, topic is over for the day...the moment...until something else appears on the horizon.
One thing this ankle & walking thing has highlighted is that apparently I am really a very nosy person at heart.
I always thought of myself as being involved with, interested in, and never, NEVER judging others. What a shock to discover that the limited views our windows allow are so interesting. Further more this interest is enlarged by the fact that our home is on a corner lot of the main [my call] roadway into the rest of the sub. Now really, can one find blame with these latest activities of mine.
Am certain it does follow the train of thought [or is it a tricycle] that for 15+ years I, too, was one of the movers and ??? [was prompted to say 'shakers'--yeah Ha] living in one of the two homes on the corner. Any moving vehicle driving on the main street--Napoli Lane--who desired to go East HAD to turn at the corner. Thus each and every such moving vehicle did indeed pass the two homesteads--one of which is ours.
Now I ask you ???is that not power ???. Really ned to master walking in wet, snowy,, or slippery weather and get outside more.
One last [I know..I know] item on this subject is that we are selling my car in the Spring. However I am still supposed to go and get my license renewed????
I ask you??
The good news [to me anyway] is that we are slated for a big snow-melt the rest of the week. Even a proposed 50 [who knows how to find that little 0 thingie that indicates 'degrees'] by this coming weekend.
Spring is looking good--har, har.
For any of you who are being inundated with the wet, cold flakes- sympathies are sent your way.
For those of you who think my kind of human is totally 'nuts', that's OK too.
For all of our outdoor sports people I state "Good for you", just keep the snow & cold by your area.
For all the children and students who really desire the 'no school' time to enjoy the outside I say; pray harder.
One final thought on this bright, sunny, cold but changing day--Have a great rest of this Winter season. Remember those others who dislike the cold, wet, white, frozen droplets and look upon its a really not so nice event.
Enjoy your snow and unless you live directly across the corner of Napoli Lane and Nocera do know that your joy will never be seen by me. Sal for whatever reason is NOT at all concerned. Go figure!

As you can see. only the Ducks, squirrels and Birds like the snow around our yard
