Winter is Definitely Here!

This morning, I woke up to 13″ of snow!!! By the time I finished shovelling the driveway, another 3″ had fallen, so I shovelled my way back to the house. After taking a nice, long bath, there is another 4″ out there! And, it is still snowing!!!
OMG! No housebuilding for a while, I guess.
I’ll start blogging again when the snow melts. Right now, I just want to be a bear in hibernation.

Snow, snow and more snow

It is snowing sideways again. It is hard to even imagine that we went to the local out door swimming pool wearing bikinis just about a week ago! The weather here is so odd. Every year, it starts to warm up in February. The snow melts away, spring is in the air, and when March comes around, everyone feels like summer is just around the corner. The bikinis come out and the winter boots go back in the closets.

Then comes April – and the same happens every year. Snow, snow and more snow. December and January is cold, March is always lovely and warm, and April makes you realize that you should have been hibernating a few more months…

Maybe it was silly to think that we could start on the new house in early spring. It isn’t much fun to freeze our fingers and noses off. I think we’ll wait a little bit longer. It is definitely cozier inside right now…
