big girl pants, bribe, Chinese food, Olympics, snow, snow covered, Valentine's eve

on the way out the back door this morning I stepped into six inches of freshly fallen snow…

as I struggled to get the car out of the garage and down the driveway I made up my mind that if it got stuck I would just call a cab… thankfully I made it out onto the street, and safely to work…

I texted my son-in-law, who had just been here yesterday shovelling, to see if he could come and snowblow… offered dinner as a bribe, and it worked… everyone arrived about 5:30, which gave me time for half an hour of Olympics…

when I arrived home and walked up the front I took a picture of how deep the snow was… those were the footprints of my construction fella who had been by earlier in the day…

sidewalk and front steps...

sidewalk and front steps…

Crystal got here first and shovelled the front steps and sidewalk in about three minutes flat…  oh to be young… I didn’t lift a shovel because of my back, which is feeling much better – and which I want to keep that way, lol…

Crystal shovelling...

Crystal shovelling…

all the boys arrived and the two biggest ones got to work cleaning up all the snow… while they were busy, we ordered Chinese food for dinner…

had a lovely visit with everyone and heard all about each person’s day… Gray spoke about Grandpa a bit, which is fairly unusual, as I don’t think he really remembers that much as he was so little when George died…

it was good to spend the time with them this Valentine’s eve…

the moment…

big girl pants, conversations, find time each day, in the garden, ReImagining, snow, snow covered, the moment

 

this morning as I was leaving the house I looked up and there was a sliver of moon and Venus shining brightly… it was just gorgeous… didn’t have an opportunity to get a picture…

we talked about how beautiful it was and enjoyed the moment… my colleague had enjoyed catching glimpses of them as she was on her way to pick me up…

moon a few night's ago...

moon a few night’s ago…

reminded me of last night and the conversation we had at BS… how important it is to enjoy the moment, because there is no certainty about the next moment in anyone’s life…

this same conversation took place at the last gathering of my Reimagining friends… and how I am trying to find time each day to be in the moment and realize how special that moment is…

made me think of all the snow and very cold weather we have been having and a comment that a friend put up on Facebook about not wanting to hear anyone complain about the heat in the summer, lol… we are very good at complaining about whatever weather we are experiencing…

on the weekend I took a few pictures of the garden, with the waterfall rock nearly covered with snow… someone reminded me that in 1997 we experienced more snow than this, and another person talked about the winter of 1955-1956 when the there was twice as much snow as we have now… yikes…

snowy back yard...

snowy back yard…

when I am sitting out there in the spring and summer enjoying lovely weather I will be able to remember how beautiful and pristine it looked before and after the bunny and squirrels had made paths across it…

big girl pants, snow, snow covered

this is what I saw when I went to step out the door this morning…

this little tree is lit in the evening and looks very nice…

I had to hook it to the rail because it kept falling over, lol…

there is a lot of snow out there… when I took the garbage and recycling out this morning there were big drifts that I could hardly get through but I had to get them out as last week there was no way I could get though the snow…

been a really long week and I am hoping to rest and recuperate over the weekend…
