Storm, freezing rain

[Marigold2]

It has arrived, not just for me but for millions across this great country.
A horrible storm with freezing rain. I can hear it against the windows.
A spattering of angry sounding ice.
I have to be at work tomorrow at 8 am.
I wonder how many patients we will have, maybe none, since most are elderly.
And to make it even sweeter my wonderful cell phone which I love is broken and cannot be repaired. I am phone less...........
I am getting a new one, different model which I donot like perhaps tomorrow or Thursday.
But with all bad news comes good.
I have a new Coach Purse and wallet for my birthday. Third son and I went to the Outlet mall and shopped. He was oh so patient while I spent an hour looking over all the lovely purses. I finally picked one and then he said " how about a wallet?' Isn't he funny? He helped me pick one out.
I love it. We had so much fun shopping at all the stores. It was colder then cold but J and I love this weather so we were great. The snow was gently falling and we walked and talked and shopped. Magic!!
Getting one of the kids alone especially J for the day is a special treat. I love his wife and their daughter but sometimes I just want him all to myself. We mesh so well.
We also went to the Home and Flower Show, actually we went there first. It was so much fun. Since he has worked for a nursey for many years he is the perfect person to go with to the show.
We had such a blast picking out seeds to start out gardens with.
Slacker my oldest said he would pay for my purse so I am doubly blessed.
Sons can be so wonderful. But they sure eat a lot. And I love love love cooking and baking for them.
Stay safe everyone......... It is nasty outside.

Just got finished cleaning up after round one, and round two began an hour before it was supposed to. Thankfully it's snow so far, I hope it stays snow, I dread ice!

We here in Maine are well on our way to getting buried!!! I've got quite the pile of snow on the patio furniture. Birds are working on the big suet cake I put out a few weeks ago - will refill the seed feeders when I venture out to start working on the snow on the walkways. Pretty soon I won't have a driveway turn-around - the plowers are using pick-up trucks and I've got quite a pile forming!!! Too bad the grandkids are so far away - it would be a great snow fort Will try to get some pictures later today.

Stay safe an warm, everyone. No travel unless you need to!!!

We're iced in around here. Walking outside, even a few steps is impossible. There's a small bit of water over the ice which only makes things even worse. A perfect day to stay inside with Pet Talk. To those of you who must go out, please be extremely careful!

Yes, everyone be careful on that ice and while shoveling snow..take many breaks.
Cover your mouths...that cold air plays havoc on the bronchi and lungs!

Just remember spring is on its way. We just need to get through February!
