Digging out

 The roads were plowed by the time we went to town for Far Guy's weekly infusion.   He was happy to see his favorite nurses and from the sounds of it they were happy to see him too! 

I ran some errands in town.  Lots of people were in town the day after snowy days. 

The roads were a combo of wet, slushy, dry or icy.  Driver beware...only one car in the ditch.


The huge snow bank was created by snow coming off the steel roof.  When it comes down it rumbles as it slides.  

I found an old half finished crochet project...cashmere yarn..so I refreshed my old brain on the stitches and  it may be finished...someday.

Oh no, what piles of snow... yes, your cashmere yarn goes with it. Cuddly, soft, warm.
Lots of love to you.

Yikes. Well you won't have a dry spring where you have to watch for fires...maybe?

That is a ton of snow!

A sign of spring...snow rumbling off a steel roof. ;)

I'm glad it has finally stopped snowing. We're supposed to be above freezing tomorrow. It seems our weather heads in your direction so hopefully you'll see a warming trend too.

Glad you are dug out at least. The armpit high snowbank in our front yard is now only knee high this morning. Maybe by the end of the weekend it will be only ankle high. LOL

June might make it to July! OH! I! HOPE! NOT!!!

The most recent snow here has thankfully melted. Higher temperatures have been welcome.

You've got a lot of snow! We are supposed to be in the 70s next week. Too soon for that!

At least you got to brown for Far Guy’s appt. Warmer days are ahead.

The first time I heard snow fall off a roof was at my daughter's in 2018 - I got such a fright!

I just got through catching up on all your blog posts that I missed! I hope your baby brother is doing well after his surgery. Jen's quilt is amazing. I've seen those Art quilts but I haven't tried that technique. Hers turned out beautiful. Glad you got home safe and sound and had some time before the next storm blew in. Cashmere yarn sounds delightful...can't wait to see your project.
The weather is nice here but last week was a whole other story! Glad to keep up with you again.

Our kids get snowy avalanches, too.

I got distracted, and cannot remember if I posted a message!

The snow clearing crew must have been ready for this latest storm and quick to get out there with the equipment.

I talked about you and June at breakfast this morning along with seeing robins. Life in Minnesota is so different from here.

I'm so impressed with the snow banks around there. We really didn't have much at all this year. And now we're supposed to have temps in the 80's by early next week.
What a great thing for Far Guy to be reunited with his favorite nurses.
Blessings,
Betsy

Glad it finally stopped snowing, and that you were able to make it to Far Guy's infusion.
