The Snowiest Winter (Literally) - Continued

It is being reported that we have received 77.3 inches of snow since December. This has been the snowiest winter on record for Maryland.

EXACTLY HOW MUCH SNOW IS ENOUGH SNOW?


Waist high?


Fence high?

THE BIRDS

Dallas and Lin-Ley always make sure the birds have birdseed. But the supply was running low and the snow had covered the seeds that were there (on top of the rabbit cage). (We do not have a bunny right now but plan to have another eventually.) We were out of bird seed. What else could we feed the birds?


Do birds like Chocolate Cheerios?


They were on their way to make a special delivery.


9 out of 9 birds agree. Chocolate Cheerios are a perfect balance of whole grain goodness and a delicious touch of chocolate taste.






















DELIRIUM

The delirium set in around 3PM yesterday. I stayed busy with the mop and vacuum cleaner most of the day. Lin-Ley and Tru were cleaning messing up their rooms in between running from the vacuum. Dallas stayed busy with snow related activities. But enough was enough. We were bored and some interesting things started to happen.

DISCLAIMER: The kids dressed themselves. I make no excuses. (Remember we were in a state of delirium!)


There was much amusing singing and dancing….


We had to keep it upbeat. Wynonna sang “Hunk of Burning Love”, Shania sang “I Feel Like a Women” and of course there was Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”.

And now a short snippet of the kids and their dancing:



ALONG CAME TROUBLE

Dallas and Lin-Ley have been teaming up in their request for a dog. Tru and I are not on board with that idea. But today along came trouble. Literally.


This is Trouble. (Yes, that is her real name.) She showed up at our house today as Dallas was cleaning off the vehicles again. Dallas, never having met Trouble, instantly started giving her commands (sit, shake, etc.) to which she instantly performed. For that she received a piece of sausage and a safe waiting area in our basement until her owner came by looking for her. Nice doggy – but Tru and I have not given in yet.

WHERE ELSE WOULD WE GO?


We did not need anything but we needed to get out. Thank you Target for being open! There was one wrinkle, however. They did not have any popcorn. Oh the travesty!


But across the street…. How could we resist?















Dallas’ office is still closed tomorrow. He has had the whole week off. Lin-Ley’s school is closed until next Tuesday. Tomorrow Tru will return to school and Lin-Ley will go to a local church just to get out of the house. I will be back at work as well.

P.S. We are hearing a nasty rumor that we could be receiving more snow next week. Have mercy!

P.S.S. To those of you in Louisiana, have fun in the snow. Learn from my mistake. Stock up on junk food!

P.S.S.S. For those of you in upstate New York, there is something wrong about this snow situation….
