Fifty Degrees Tomorrow!!!

Can you guess what this is?

A doggie snow angel of course!

Gennie and I are certainly enjoying this break in the winter weather. This week is also going to be Spring Break at LCC. Not exactly Florida or Mexico but Lansing shouldn't be too bad this week. Enjoying the sunshine but it sure shows the dirt on the windows.

Sledding - Who me?

This morning Claire and Cubby came over to help me shovel and brave the winter snow. Yesterday, I waded through knee-deep snow to make sure that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle plastic sleds were still out in the shed. First we sledded down the hill in my front yard and then all (including Gennie) piled into the car to go to the BIG hill at Post Oak. We had a really great time.  I almost got Gennie to sit on my lap on the sled but I was worried that she would try to bail out half way down and we'd end up in a tumbled mess.  More pictures on Claire's Facebook page.

Yes, gamma gamma, I AM the king of the mountain. Hi Ya!

February in Michigan

Last night we got dumped on again. But look on the bright side, it's only half of what they got on the East Coast. I came home from class Tuesday night about 7:30 and tried twice to make it up my driveway. No go. So I had to shovel before I could put my car away.  This morning the driveway didn't even look like I had shoveled at all.

But look at it now!  It took about an hour this morning to get it cleared. The sun is out and it actually felt warm. I have a hard time agreeing that it's pretty since I'm not a fan of winter but it's "OK".

While I was out, the neighbor's garage door opened and I heard, "Oh yeah, this is what I'm talkin' about!". The two little kids next door (4 & 6?) were home from school and much happier about the snow than I.

Is that a polar bear in a snowstorm? No, just Gennie.

Her opinions of snow run right along with mine.

DRAT!!! While I have been writing this post, the snowplow has filled the bottom of my driveway with backwash. Here we go again!
