Digging out!!

Sending warm, positive thoughts your way. As our weatherman said this morning - hang in there till the weekend - it IS supposed to be 50+ and sunny. Hopefully the sun and warm will melt some of that doggone immovable wet stuff. Thankfully, we have power here in our little corner of coastal Maine... though our son and his SO will be staying with us for a few days till they get their power back. [After the ice storm we had some years back, we decided to replace our old wood stove with a new propane heater - it doesn't require lifting/stacking wood and doesn't need electricity!] Stay warm and snug! ME-Judy

This storm really packed a whollop....my front yard has over a foot of wet, VERY heavy snow. It's impossible to plow, it is so heavy it will not move!

Everything closed down yesterday and I am taking the day off today to dig out and deal with things. My poor outdoor plantings, holly and evergreen bushes, are squashed and probably badly damaged.

To get on-topic....I stayed up sewing with my 99 hand crank last evening and got pretty far on my flying geese quilt!!

Thanks, Judy....still now power and now they are saying some may be without power for up to two more days! Eek!!!

I'll have to go to the local community college to take a shower LOL

Gee, it's been about 21C here for the weekend and last couple days. I think that's in the 70s (F). You can come over and use my shower anytime!

We've got about 25C here, been that for the last 3 days at least. The night s have been a little chilly, about 12C.

For crying out loud. You poor people. Hope the power came on for you Irene. I hope things get back on track and springtime finds you before summer hits. Flying geese stitched with a handcrank do sound pretty nifty though. Taria
