Blowin' in the Wind

It was raining when I got home from Fritz's last night. But you could feel the temperatures dropping. I knew I'd be waking up to a whole different scene this morning.

Yeah, Boy was I right. We got about an inch of snow.....but the real story was the wind. Hell, it's so windy I even have snow on the sun porch. And it's still just a blowin' and driftin' like crazy.

But here's the funny part......picture this......me, just awake, in my cool flannel jammies and slippers, running around my yard just as the sun was comin' up.

What was I doin'? No, not making snow angels, I can assure you. No, I was chasing Christmas trees. I have two mini trees, one by the front door, one by the back...It's windy enough that it blew them all over, and of course they are strung with the lights on my bushes, so as the tree blows away, it pulls my pretty lights off.....

And I have news for you folks, I didn't spend that time outside in the cold and wet for my damned Christmas lights to all come apart 2 days before Christmas.

As I finally got everything straightened out and back where it belongs the Snow Plow Guy (don't know for sure which guy it was) was stopped in front of my drive. Just watchin'. And laughin'.

So I waved.....we're a friendly town and he drove off shaking his head.

But damn....my lights are back where they belong, and that's MUCH more important than the rumors of my insanity at this point....
