Well, it has happened. Usually Mother Nature lets us dip our toes in the water of a Northern Michigan snowfall. Not this year. She snuck up behind us, picked us up and therew us into the deep endof the pool! We got a little over a foot here at the homestead. School was called off almost everywhere. There were a couple of schools that had delays, but it was pretty nasty on the roads until late this afternoon.
I had a long meeting yesterday. The main topic of the meeting was DOT requirements. It was interesting that I have been working for these people for over six years, driving their equipment the entire time, and yesterday was the first comprehensive training on DOT regulations and procedures I have ever had! I can honestly say I learned something at a district meeting! This has not happened since........
Anyway, the Nazi elf from Motown did not show up. There was much rejoicing from the other elves and we chowed down on pizza. Then it was a nice drive home with white knuckles gripping the wheel while the wind tried to fling me into the ditch. Overall not a bad day.
It is really getting Christmasy though. The trees are very pretty and laiden with much snow. I am very impressed with how the house looks. We painted it this year, and it really looks nice against the fresh white snow. I had opportunity to look at it from every side of the house as I shoveled all the snow from our porches and the dog kennel and the garage doors and the birdhouses and the potty area for Queen Polly the house dog. This dog does not want to go outside to take a leak if there is snow in her designated potty spot, but if you let her out any other door she will run through the stuff like she is part polar bear. DUMB DOG!
Well, gonna run. We are going to be heading into town to see the local charity Christmas Tree Auction. Should be a hoot!
