The blizzard of 2013 - Feb 8-9

The blizzard started by Kaleigh taking on another pet sitting job.  This time, for couple that both work for a town or state and would be putting in many hours plowing.  Clyde and Blake became instant friends.
By Friday night, around 7pm, we had gotten almost a foot of snow, so I went out to shovel while Eric went out to plow.  Unfortunately, it was not just our own property that we had to take care of.  My mom and her husband had gone to Jamaica on vacation, so we had to take care of her property, as well as the widow across the street and our multi-family in Willimantic.

On Saturday morning, we woke up to snow fall totals of around 30 inches and began replowing and reshoveling all that we had done the night before.




We heard that on Sunday night, we would be getting rain.  This would make the snow even heavier and could cause collapsing of decks and roofs.......so we got to work once again.  We shoveled 4 decks, two roofs and my mom's pool.

It is very safe to say that if we get anymore snow this year, I just might cry!

The reason behind my blogging absence

Well my blogging for 2013 has gotten off to a SLOW start.  I'd like to think that it was the fact that we were computer-less for a while, but I think that the real reason I don't have so much time in front of the computer anymore is because I have a new man in my life.  He is very handsome. He eats quite a bit and can be extremely stubborn at times.  But the truth is, I'd much rather be hanging with him than sitting in from of the pc.  His name????  It's Bucky.
