I Hate Snow!!

I hope this is the last significant snow we get this year. I hope the next snow falls on a certain horse farm in Texas. (snicker)

Below are a few pictures taken just a few minutes ago from my front door. More snow is expected today. Grrrrrrrrrr





Here are a couple of pictures of our neighbor, Brian, on his snow plow. He keeps it clear for us when the snow gets too deep. He and his son, Ryan, cleared the driveway and even cleaned the snow off the car and truck for us. Great neighbors! Thanks, guys!

Urp!!

My life is so freaking boring the past few years that it's difficult for me to find things to write about.

Lately, the only thing noteworthy that has happened to me is the great meal I had last night.

My friends Pat and Russell invited Marsha and me over for steaks.

Russell cooked some rib-eyes on the grill. We are all from the South, except Marsha, but we forgive her, and we like our steaks grilled. As you can see, a little bit of snow is not going to stop us from cooking out.



Years ago, my children used to really love for me to get the trusty old charcoal grill out and cook steaks. I always thought I did a pretty good job on them, but Russell does wonderfully. He's a great cook, as you can see by the picture below:



Next...here are Marsha, Pat, and Russell getting ready to dig in.



Here is Jake, hoping for a share of the bounty. Sorry, Jakie...nothing left. Next time.



Finally....Pat sneaked a picture of yours truly while I was trying to recover from my gastronomical indiscretions.

Yech! More snow.



Seems like Winter lasts as long as the other three seasons combined. At least it does to me. Particularly when it snows. I was just out in snow half way up to my knees...and I am tall, too....refilling the blasted bird feeders. I have gotten silly in my old age. So far we have at least eight inches of snow and it is coming down really hard. I expect a foot, if not more by the time it is finished. This is Marsha's car 5 minutes ago. More pictures when it quits snowing. I will see if I can figure out how to lighten it a bit. This camera baffles me.

(Thanks to my friend Falsie (www.washingtoncube.blogspot.com)for fixing the picture for me.)
