Out of the Blizzard, Into the Sunshine
That was some Blizzard we had last week. It came on my Mom's Birthday! Can you imagine? Not many people get their very own Blizzard for a Birthday Gift. I told Mom that i arranged the entire thing, but I don't think she belived me.
It was a nice day other than the fact that we couldn't leave our property ---- nor were we able to get out for several days thereafter. Things are back to normal now, and I'm in the Blogging Zone again. I have missed Blogging, but Mom - who controls the thumbs - said she was just too depressed for words. I guess having a Birthday and a Blizzard all on one day is more than these old ones can handle.
HA.
Here is a picture of one of our access roads a few days after the big storm.
This is called Loudoun Orchard Road. If you turn right out of our driveway and go up a little way you can connect with Loudoun Orchard and then get across to Harmony Church, which we figured was clear. HA. We had to call our wonderful neighbor to help remove some of the snow drifts across Loudoun Orchard and after many, many, many cold hours, we got OUT! Our own road, which is named Mt. Gilead, was totally impassable at this point in time. Now, we can get in and out pretty easy, but our own property is still pretty scary. Yesterday, Mr. Pat was able to dig out his own car, so of five vehicles, we now have three operational.
Fortunately, there was chocolate cake!
Since we could not go anywhere on the 10th - the Birthday Day and the Big Blizzard Day, my Omi (who is Mr. Pat's Mom and is from Germany), made a homemade German Dinner for my Mom's Birthday. Oh Yum. We got some little bites. And Mr. Pat made the cake. Notice, please, that it is in the shape of a BONE Pretty appropriate. It was DELICIOUS according to Mom. Dogs can't have chocolate, although I heard it on good authority that Lily Bug got just the tinest little lick. Bah!
Our wonderful friend Bev Hollis who is perhaps one of the best photo taking people in the whole world sent us this beautiful picture that she took at her own home in downtown Leesburg, Virginia.
This doesn't even look real, does it? But it was.
So all of our area was a WINTER WONDERLAND. Unfortunately, this caused severe problems for most people and many folks got stuck and some didn't have any electricity and it was very scary. But today, Wednesday, February 17th, one week after the BIG BLIZZATD OF 2010, we are all safe, and secure and things are getting back to normal.
I'm glad, cause you know what? I have a major case of the PitBull Zoomies, and no where to ZOOM!
Love,
