We've Had a Foot of Snow but..........

Yes, folks, the weather forcasters predicted we'd have a whole lot of snow and, this time, they were right. As usual, however, their doomsday predictions just didn't pan out. Instead, I took a look at what a foot of snow can mean and was led to compose a top ten list of things I am thankful about on this snowy day.

10. We've had a foot of snow but I could stay home yesterday.

9. We've had a foot of snow but the grocery store lot was completely plowed and I even got the
third space from the door!

8. We've had a foot of snow but it's a light fluffy snow that Ken could easily remove with the
snow-blower.

7. We've had a foot of snow but this light fluffy snow also created some fascinating symmetry for anyone who took the time to look at their own back yard.



6. We've had a foot of snow, but that one foot became several feet for fences and bushes
that got submerged in snow-blower piles. As cold as the bush looks, next summer it will thrive from all the insulation and moisture the snow provided.



5. We've had a foot of snow, but the sun is shining and it makes neighborhood trees glorious.


4. We've had a foot of snow but the Christmas lights are still up and provide an other worldly glow.

3. We've had a foot of snow but I was still able to have my Friday morning walk and gab
fest - inside!

2. We've had a foot of snow and it will feel really good to have the oven on as Ken's birthday cake bakes later this afternoon.

1. We've had a foot of snow but THERE ARE NO MOSQUITOS!
