A Lazy Sunny Day...

Three of our four cats took advantage of the bright sunshine coming through a south facing window and spent the better part of the morning napping...

Screamer with the "dad, you woke us up" look on his face.

We had a light dusting of snow the other day. I wasn't going to shovel or blow the driveway, but the plow went by last night so I took the snow blower out to clean up the end of it. Just as I was finishing up, a large Caterpillar grader with a wing plow came down the road. I backed up and watched as he came closer. He was pushing back the drift that had accumulated on the roadside. I watched as he slowed down and pushed a HUGE pile of snow onto the end of my driveway. All I could do was stand there with a hurt look on my face. He stopped and made hand gestures that I interpreted as "there's another plow coming behind me to clean it up". I gave him the thumbs up and he continued on his way. It wasn't many minutes later that a medium sized rubber tired loader came down the road. It had a large adjustable snow blade on the front. He swung around and pushed the snow several feet off the drive way and up to the tree line. He really cleared up the grader's mess. Thanks Town of Cable road crew!


The long shot up the driveway...


The sun was out in full force today. It didn't do much for the temps, but any bright day is a good day! Maybe Martha will get some of this sunshine soon!
