20 inches of soft powdery snow. Personally I love the snow and the hygge feeling it provides.
It reminds me to be grateful for a home, heat, a snowblower and still having the physical strength to operate it. Numerous times.

Last month our handyman went to winterize the pipes at our lake house and found this.
Amazingly, there is no structural damage except for a small overhang. The real loss is that it was one of two trees that supported my hammock.
A successful blood donation. I always give in honor of a friend who fought a rare cancer and had been turned away twice for transfusions because of a lack of blood supply. During my past two attempts my vein closed up before completing the full pint donation and I thought I would have to give up the practice. That was making me feel old. But with the help of a great Red Cross phlebotomist, I am back in the blood letting game.
A friend who will stay at our house and care for our furbabies while we are in Florida over the xmas break. Good reliable people are getting harder to find and knowing our home and pets are in excellent, loving hands will provide for an anxiety free vacation.
December 5th. Commemorating the birthdays of both Walt Disney and my father - gone now but still two of the most influential men in my life. Actually, the only men in my life : )
That's a lot of snow. December 5th is my middle daughter's birthday.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you love snow! I feel fortunate to live somewhere that gets an occasional snow day and I can easily shovel my sidewalk and then go inside and appreciate it from the warm house.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your hammock tree. That's a real blow.
Trustworthy house/pet sitters are like gold!
Good on you for the blood donation. It's such a needed gift.
Your father and Walt Disney: what a funny synchronicity!
xoxoxox
Good gracious not to state the obvious but that is a heap of snow! Yay for being able to work the machine that will move the snow.
ReplyDeleteBummer about the tree and the roof.
Yay for great phlebotomists.
Happy Birthday to your dad and Walt Disney. Isn't that something?!
Snow looks awesome... We have an inch :)
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the snow if not the cold. It's in the low 50's here right now, though.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the tree but glad it didn't do more damage. And also glad you are able to donate blood to your friend (she says, cringing at the idea).
(I'm putting this here because blogger will NOT let me comment on the recent post and once you've started and Blogger tells you it can't connect, it's sticking with that story.)
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you. The melanoma diagnosis sucks but I'm so glad that it was caught early! Cancer sucks.
I am deeply relieved also about Biden but those Trumper lunatics are not going away. Not as long as he has his minions in the government busily undermining our democracy. It's crazy.
Congrats, grandma!!!
