Okay not like pant rips or other things like that.
Snow. It went from an Advisory to Winter Storm Warning. Color me happy as a lark.
One. I don't have to drive in it.
Two. I can play in it.
Three. I don't have to plow it. We hired out for that.
Four. The first snow is always pretty.
Five. I like snow. Except when it covers up ice by the mailbox.
Charlie and I had to make a trip up to the mailboxes at noon. We'd had about 5" of snow by then. Our UPS guy and I have an understanding. He always always comes to the house. But I told him not to come down the drive if the weather is bad and to leave the delivery in the big orange tupperware container.
Some meds that hubby gets from the VA have to be signed for and handed to an adult at the residence. Tom called us on his cell phone and I trudged up the drive. I didn't want to delay on the meds and Tom didn't want to risk our long hill. Talk about cooperation from a delivery service! I've know this driver since 2008 when I did Security work way back when.
I got the meds in hand and....Boom- bang- slip- butt smack on the ground!
I forgot about the ice right by the mailbox that never melted off. So I started to get up again and whoooopppsyy! I was snow swimming.
I did not hurt myself but had cold snow go up my coveralls sleeve and on my wrist. Ick. I like snow but not down my cuff!
Too much excitement for me!
Charlie just stuck his nose under the snow and paid me no mind at all. By the time I got back home, I looked as if I'd been out doing snow angels.
The girls were comfy and out of the wind. They had their snow blankets on and later they took snow baths.
It sure is pretty out, I do love our first real snow.
I hope to get to tromp around in it more on Friday.
Update:
I do like the picture of Charlie heading down the lane. Enjoy the snow.
ReplyDeleteI will. Better if and when we get plowed out!
DeleteLooks like a good old fashioned winter instead of the miserable excuses we get now, and I would have relished being there with you. The slipping on the ice I could live without but tromping through fresh snow would be a joy. I am impressed that you have been able to develop such a great relationship with the delivery guy. I hope you baked cookies for him!
ReplyDeleteHe won't take anything there are rules against that. However, he could always leave things at the top of the hill that don't need signatures, however, he says he wants to check on us.
DeleteTromping through snow is fun and it makes me feel like a kid.
You would have enjoyed it, the forest looks amazing in that light and snow.
You are good at going with the flow....or rolling in the snow! I think your weather is headed our way. Lori
ReplyDeleteHopefully the storm won't be awful!
DeleteCharlie had better things to do besides watching you fall! You have a friend in your delivery driver. We got quite a bit of snow, too.
ReplyDeleteTrue, he is a good guy. He knows my hubby too from a few farm auctions they both attended. When I was in Security, I saw him nearly every single day I worked for 9 years, so yeah, we know each other.
Delete:)
We just got plowed out and I am pleased!
Oh gosh, we don't need you falling! I bet you were pretty frustrated! We haven't had real snow yet, just a light coat of black ice now and then. I have some very cute boots, but I seem to be able to grip better in my tennis shoes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great UPS guy. I will say all of our delivery people including our postman are great.
Well it wasn't a hard crash fall, I didn't get bruised or hurt. It was rather funny looking!
DeleteLD....That was quite a snow. I really like the photo of the snow and the mules. It is a wonderful shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks, they were rather unconcerned.
DeleteSnow swimming. What a wonderful description! Glad you are un-injured. Enjoy your holidays!
ReplyDeleteI will enjoy. We have company for the weekend and then a peaceful and quiet rest of the week through the new year.
DeleteGlad you didn't break something in the fall. Hope you had a good weekend, we are worn out after all the activity around here!
