To paraphrase a line from Field of Dreams, no, this is Michigan. Although we didn't have the extremes that the Andersons experienced in Iowa, we did get about 6" of snow overnight and the wind has been blowing steadily. Add to that temperatures in the teens, now below 10 degrees, and it's our first winter slap in the face from Mother Nature. It created alot of work and some pretty landscapes.
With the concrete driveway I decided to try to use the snow blower to clear the entire drive, since it was very cold and the snow was light and fluffy. Well, it did about 75% of the job, then I had to finish with the shovel. That POS snow blower is just not going to cut it here. I suspect it will be replaced soon! Connie tells me that it's supposed to thaw again within a couple of days. WooooHoooo! We'll try to have some fresh snow for our southern visitors, but in Michigan, there are no guarantees.
Love to all!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas....(truth be told, that is one of my very least favorite Christmas carols, but it fit perfectly here!) We do surely hope that there is snow to play in when we are in Michigan, we just hope not to have to drive in it. One can hope, right??? Heading north in just one week and we can't wait to see you guys!
Love,
