Let it snow, let it snow, let it..........@#$%@#$&$
Nothing new to report but have some snapshots of major drifting on the farm. Also pictures of our neighbor who walked 1/4 of mile in blinding snow to borrow 10 gallons of gas for his generator. His return trip with 80 pounds of gas couldn't have been fun, but he made it safely!! Mark is heating the water for showers tonight. He is so nice, or perhaps I am so rank??? Whatever, it shall feel grand.
The rear view mirror
My dear friend Jan and I were talking on the phone last night discussing this latest round of horrendous weather and loss of electricity. She had me laughing when she stated "your best memory of Iowa will be getting to look at it through your car's rear view mirror next week." I hate to say it, but going on 4 days this week without electricity and a raging blizzard now in progress, she has a very good point. That may be my best memory! Thanks for making me smile, Jan!
We have "lots" of snowdrifts, the size I haven't seen since Matt and Megan were young children. Utility companies have pulled all crews off of rural areas so we don't look for any line repairs for a few days. No human being should be outside in this so I am glad the companies sent their guys home.
I wrote to my son-in-law Andy begging him to send me some new pics of Drew, as I was going through "withdrewal" and he graciously obliged. The posted pictures today are views from our home and Drew. Keep warm and safe everyone.
