Thanks to a friend, a friendly pig sculpture "protects" our parsley bed. He does look rather cute peeking out of the snow. That was yesterday and oh what a difference a day makes. Today that little pig is no where to be seen - he's hiding out under another foot of snow.I like snow. I also like not having to deal with snow. And John REALLY likes not having to deal with snow especially when he goes out to start the snow blower and finds the front tire on the tractor (to which the snow blower is attached) flat. (It's had a slooooow leak for several months but husbands do not always listen to their wives about getting things fixed...) Thanks to a portable compressor (and a few choice thoughts, I'm sure) the tire now has air (for a day or two) and the snow has been blown away from the driveway and walkway.
While the radio was merrily playing "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow", John & I were merrily packing up rusty old Rambo in preparation for going south tomorrow (no snow, short sleeves... you get the picture). In addition to seeing my Mom & sister & brother-in-law & nephew & his wife & who knows how many other crazy Texans, we'll be going over to Florida for another Habitat build. This one starts on Dec. 30th so one wonders what we'll be doing for New Year's Eve. Sleeping the night away after a hard day's work? Uncorking champagne bottles with our hammers? Will Rambo even make it there? Ah, the suspense...
Keep checking the blog. I'm refreshed, renewed and ready to keep you updated (if you're interested) in the amazing un-adventures of two ordinary folks.
