Snow days




So, it's been snowing a bit here in the Inland Northwest. This is the view outside of my school. Now, I don't want anyone becoming jealous of the LOVELY white stuff. July is not far away and we will have green grass and warm weather. (At least that is what I keep telling myself!!!) Today is Friday and it is the 2nd day this week that we have had school. Monday - no school due to weather, Tuesday - school, but such crappy conditions that it was cancelled for Wednesday before we even left the building, Wednesday - no school (but on a side note, I sprained my ankle doing stuff INSIDE my house), Thursday - no school, Friday - school, but it's snowing and crappy out. We have to make up 2 of the days that we have missed so far. Another storm is coming this weekend. OMG! The area officially recorded 40 inches in the month of January...23 of which came in the last 5 days. It is insane! I'm so glad that I don't live north of here...where the snowfall measures MUCH more than the "official" record.


Now, I'm not complaining, but I have to say, I see a tanning bed in my near future. I really need some warmth on my skin.


On a side note, my mom stayed the night on Wednesday night (refer to ankle issue in 1st paragraph) since my hubbers was out of town. We got up Thursday morning and had coffee and watched my neighbor fall down as he was shoveling snow. All I could do was laugh, but of course, as you can see by the photo, I had no real ground to stand on. I sprained my ankle INSIDE the night before. Anyhooooo, we were drinking coffee with our feet up on the coffee table and my dog, Tucker, thought he'd relax with us. It was worth a picture...don't you think?
What a freak of a dog...but I love him just the same.

Of course you would have the dog who couldn't feel left out and had to put HIS leg on the table. Du-uh! That's hilarious. Sorry about the ankle (wish I could have been there drinking coffee with you & your mom, aughing at your fallen neighbor...)

Wow - that is some snow pile up - I thought we were bad in MT. Love the toes, especially Tuckers :)
