Trapped in a Snow Globe!!!

That is what we have been feeling like for the last week…after close to 2 foot of snow and a blizzard on February 1st..followed by several more inches of snow on February 4th…and more snow in the forecast for tomorrow evening that is how we are feeling…every now and then someone picks it up and gives it a good shake…but, there is a light at the end of the tunnel..it is suppose to warm up by the end of the week and be in the 50’s by the weekend..we will think it’s HEAT WAVE….We just aren’t use to this much snow coming all at once and staying around…We were snowed in from Tuesday till Friday…between my hubby’s wonderful brother, an awesome neighbor and the county road graders we were able to get out over the weekend..awww…who knew going to Wal Mart , the Pharmacy and the Grocery Store could be so exciting! And going back to work yesterda wasn’t too bad either..


Here are a few snow photos:


View from the front steps...


Looking north at what I call our roller coaster hills..
Another view...

                                                                  Snowed in!!!


Just a little snow to shovel to get out of the garage..




And a little to get out of the house....



from my kitchen window..the cicle in the back is where just a few short months ago we were enjoying sitting around on the tree chairs at a weiner roast...

And of course when you know you can't go anywhere you get a craving for something and mine was chocolate so I made this from scratch..with double the frosting...


You would think with all that time spent at home I would get allot of card making done but all I seemed to do was clean, cook, clean, eat, clean..and catch up on the laundry…but..I did manage to get a couple of cards made..one for an 18 old friend of a friend..not really sure what 18 yrs like these days..so I hope she liked it..I do know I liked the outcome of it so I made another one similar to it for my mother n laws birthday.




The inside

So, I am patiently waiting for Spring...the sweet smell of freshly mowed grass,  pretty yellow daffodils, the heavenly aroma of lilacs, birds singing in the trees, a nice spring rain followed by a rainbow and awww...warm sunshine againest my face looking at a gorgeous blue sky....
Just a few short weeks...

Until next time take care, stay warm and THINK SPRING!!!

Hugs T

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I am now following your blog. I love the froggies on your blog, so cute!...We're getting the winter weather here now too--we'll get more of the ice than the snow...So, just going to enjoy the day off and see what kind of crafting stuff I can get myself into!
