The Season.


Not the season you think... This is often the coldest season of the winter for us here in South Dakota. You wonder what we have been doing for the last week. One word describes it all... SNOW

We watched it fall...

We drove in it...

We walked in it...

We shoveled it... not bad it had warmed to 22 degrees that day.

We watched it fall again... of course the night we shoveled. At least there were then only 3 inches on the driveway not six.

Drove in it some more...

Walked in it some more... as little as possible these days.

Shoveled it some more... not quite as enthusiastically this time... don't want to get the snow gods excited again.

Listened to Chester yell at us because he can't go out... want to bet. He may be surprised if he keeps yelling!!!

Entertained the cat... and the dog. If you think people get cabin fever, try having animals. They get it and let you know they are miserable!!

So, it will be 40 degrees by Friday. Can't wait.

It's a love - hate thing. Then you just settle into making the best of it. It's that wisdom to know the difference!!
