OMG, the sun!! It's been 10 days since we've seen it!

January 23 - Snow Day

Yesterday's snow ended up being quite a storm. Turns out buses had a difficult time getting kids home from school yesterday afternoon. Citywide, some didn't drop off kids until 8 p.m.  Woke up this morning to hear on the radio that school was cancelled due to roads and streets still being a mess. Snow day!!

After walking home and shoveling yesterday I estimated there was at least 8 inches of snow that had fallen. Dale told me this morning that it was actually around 11 when all was said and done. 

It was a glorious sunny day today. And the backyard looked great. Dale did a little more shoveling this morning and I did a little touch-up on the driveway. Dale had to work and I spent a lot of time doing laundry and lying on the couch. 

It's the 7th anniversary of this blog by the way.

Sunrise: 7:41 a.m.
Sunset: 5:08 p.m.
Day length: 9:26:40

Overnight Snow

When Dale and I went to bed last night close to midnight, there was no snow falling. When I woke up this morning around 6, I noticed that quite a few inches of snow had fallen overnight. Dale shoveled most of the snow on his own but I helped with the driveway. 

More Back Stoop

I love how the impatiens in the blue pot have filled out. Obviously, they're quite tall at this point in the season. They won't be around much longer as I've found that impatiens tend to be pretty cold sensitive. They sure look good now, though! The two pots on the right are planted with rosemary. That would be my reflection in the door.
