Winter Wonderland

I won't pretend that we're snowed in to the degree of Washington, D.C., but 16 inches is a lot of snow, no matter how you slice it.

Alan woke up yesterday to an office closure, so he got a snow day. And it was really a day filled with snow, as we shoveled the driveway and sidewalks three times just to try to keep up. Our backs are feeling every inch of that 16 inches today.*

This is my second pass on the porch, after initially clearing the whole thing of at least 6 inches.


And because the snow would swallow Marti otherwise, I cleared a path for her outside.


Marti says "WTF?"

She's so tempted to go into No Pug's Land, but she's restraining herself. She's gotten swallowed too many times when it was slightly shallower to brave it again quite yet.

Still loving home ownership? You bet!

*I measured 16 after shoveling Marti's path. It was still snowing, so it could very well be more than that.
