Snow, Snow, Snow

I'm sitting here in my office next to my window, watching more snow fall.


We've had record-breaking snow accumulation here in southwestern Idaho this year ... the most in 30 years. I love snow. I love watching big giant flakes float through the air. I love watching my dogs play in the backyard, making snow angels. I even enjoy shoveling snow to clear the walkways and driveway (but truth be told, my husband does most of the shoveling).




HOWEVER, after weeks and weeks of snow and more snow ... and the constant preventive maintenance to protect our home from ice dams, snow weight, and flooding ... I'm getting tired. I don't want to dry off the dogs every time they come inside from making snow angels outside. I don't want to only wear my ugly shoes that have the best traction on ice.

In the high mountain desert of Idaho, I'm thankful for the moisture. We need it.

But now ... I'd like to pull out of my driveway without worrying I'll slide into the neighbor's car parked on his side of the street; I'd like to wear my cute Dansko shoes. I'd like to be able to go out and repair the fence to my garden area so my dogs will stop pooping in there.


Until then, I'll use Google to dream of new Dansko shoes like these:

#BookReview - WINTER by Marissa Meyer

Winter (The Lunar Chronicles, #4)Winter by Marissa Meyer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is seriously my all-time favorite book series. I'm so in love with the characters, stories, and writing!! And this concluding book in the series was very satisfying. Loose ends were tied up, the ending wasn't rushed, and I was left wanting to start over at the beginning of the series ... just to enjoy it all over again.

Thank you, Marissa Meyer, for an excellent series. I'm a fan for life.
