A trip to the other "Big City" was canceled due to the bad weather. I just jotted a short list for the daughter who has to work there today. Hopefully can pick up a few things.
We decided not to go after my youngest called and said she spun off the road after spinning in a circle. I was thankful we have a family group text and someone was available to get her back on the road.
Thankfully, before she walked out the door I made her put on her snow boots. In hind sight, I should have told her to pack an overnight bag and stay the night in town with my Mom or brother. The roads are just terrible.
The extreme clean resumes with my husband back to work. What left the house so far (or is boxed ready to leave)?
-several refillable zoo cups. I'm sure with covid, they will never be doing the refill offer they used to do.
-several glass dessert cups. They came from Goodwill, and will be going back. I don't use them anymore.
-notebooks and notebook paper, school binders (8 so far) that the kids don't need anymore
First time loading a video, so I hope it plays. It shows how the cordless blinds work. Sorry for the bad light. It was snowing again. I'll get better photos of them soon. They do come with a wand to control the light when they are all the way down too.
Youngest, my husband and myself spent time shoveling out parts of the driveway. I had no idea it was so bad until we went to fetch firewood.
My fancy technical instrument to move the firewood to the house was the sled. Always works like a charm.
Back to the shoveling....it's about a foot or more deep in the areas behind the vehicles. I have to go back out this morning and work more on it. The wheel horse is not working (on the spring list so we are prepared for next winter, sigh). Anyway, we have to get it shoveled, because it's going to freeze in the next few days.
We did manage to shovel out the very heavy stuff at the end of the drive where the snowplow blows it in. Had to shovel out the mailbox too. Mail wasn't delivered because it wasn't shoveled out. Our driveway is a huge U-shaped drive. We quit putting up a snow fence. It didn't matter where we put it, it was always in the wrong spot for the wind we got.
We had ham, asparagus and baked beans for dinner last night, so I have leftover ham to work with. It may be a nice hot soup of some sort. I'm going to need it after shoveling snow.
