The Snowstorm of May, 2013

May 2, 2013 Snowstorm
Our deck, yard, and barn

Sorry I haven't been responding to your comments for the past couple posts. We had a huge snowstorm which dropped 17 inches of heavy, wet snow on us, caused branches to come down all over the place, and resulted in a widespread power outage. 

So rather than respond to comments, I was playing pioneer woman for the 32 hours that our power was out. I'll never get caught up on the emails, so I hope you will forgive me. I will start from here. Thank you to all for commenting on the Vintage Wisconsin Postcards post and the National Day of Prayer post. Sorry I missed Anglophile Friday. It will be back next week, unless we have another power outage!

Next week I'm going to be writing a post about preparing for a power outage. I hope you'll stop in, for I'd like you to offer your ideas of other things a person or family might need to have on hand. Winter storms and 32 hours without power don't hold a candle to the real disasters that have hit parts of our country in the recent past, but regardless, we need to be thinking and preparing. It's amazing how the priorities shift when the power goes out and it gets cold in the house.

See you next week. I promise I'll be stopping in. Just need to catch up on some of the stuff I didn't get done the past couple days, like laundry and cleaning. I'll have to admit, once I had a good fire going and a source of light for a nightlight, it was kinda fun to sit on the couch and read 'Snobs' by Julian Fellowes.  See what I mean by 'priorities'??  lol


Have a great weekend, everyone!

Leap Year Snowstorm

The backyard flowering crab

We awakened to these scenes on Leap Day. It's beautiful, but only because March promises to take this white stuff away...the sooner, the better. Still, I can hardly complain about the abundance of snow when other parts of the country had storms that brought terrible destruction!


Misty:'Do these jeans make my butt look big?'

Notice that black smudge on the door? 
That's where the dogs scratch
when they want to get in...which is,
anytime I'm not outdoors and they are.

Thank you, Kevin, for shoveling the walk and plowing the driveway! (With a jacket like that, I should have no trouble finding him among the snowbanks.)

Have a great weekend!
