Snow, Snow, Snow

Today I reaffirm my feeling that all this snow is a blessing. I have heard more testimony of good neighbors and more kindness shown by members and non members alike during these past few storms. I really feel all this snow has made my neighbors that I rarely see come together. This is good because pretty soon we will all need to get ontop of our roofs and start shoveling all of the snow off so it doesn't end up in our houses.

Mostly I think all these men love their new snow machine tools, be it snow blowers, 4 wheelers, tractors, skid loaders, or shovels. Thank goodness I had some homemade bread left over and was able to send a loaf home with my neighbor today who came over and plowed us out with his 4 wheeler.
This particular neighbor we have only spoke to once. That was when we were out of town for 2 weeks and while we were gone a mico burst picked up his shed, blew it across the park and onto our garage. It was then blown onto our roof where part of it stuck, causing the other part to slam into our house everytime the wind blew it back down. When we got home we noticed a big dent in our roof and our siding was ripped off. After a week we finally went over to his house and ask him about it. He was very nice about the whole ordeal and said he would take care of the cost of repairs. That was the last time we spoke to this neighbor, this was around 2 years ago. We still have not been able to fix it, and yet he came over and spoke to us... good for him, and we thank him very much. He saved us a bunch of time shoveling.

This is Brian plowing the walks(above), his hair was white! My pear tree looks like a bush, and most of my bushes are completely covered. The Crab apple in front is almost completely covered, as you can tell in the picture below. Also the birdhouse you can see in one of the last posts is now covered.
