My leukemia's back.

I got up early, and watched the sun come up. It's brisk out, so the animal kingdom is frisky this morning. Even the lion roared extra this morning.

but I always hope that it is snowing drier lint....or cherry blossoms.....or chicken dander...

You can keep the dryer lint, and the chicken dander. I'll take the cherry blossoms.

Good morning, Team Rachel. If possible get outside and enjoy your day - winter is on it's way.

Been there, done that. Had to feed the birds UNDER and IN the coop this morning b/c everything else is sopping wet. Before I went outside, I looked out my bedroom window, and watched tree limbs being blown off. Emptied gallons of water out of the wheel barrows, and tipped them to keep them from filling back up again. Rain coat kept upper body dry, but my pants were quickly soaked, and the extra water drained down inside my boots. While I was tending the birds out back, the wind blew 2 pallets of neatly stacked, very wet, fire wood over. (I had suggested to hubby that we build some vertical supports attached to the pallets for increased stability. He didn't think we needed to do that!) HAH!!!!! I get to collect points tonight, when he says: "Honey, you were so VERY right, and I was so VERY wrong!!! Picked a couple of wine caps. They were well washed by the time I brought them in. So, my pants and socks have been washed, my feet have been washed. Should have taken a shower while I was out there. I'm thankful. We need the rain!

Sorry about that, LG. You are getting our 'yesterday' weather.

Used weather.

As Hyacinth would say, that weather has already been to some of "those" other places.

I believe @Alaskan is delusional, must be a frozen mind.

And that is going to happen as he re-stacks the wood??

My guess is...not!

That will happen BEFORE he puts some vertical supports on those pallets, and BEFORE I help him re-stack the wood.

Nobody mentioned Widow Maker snow - the heavy, heavy wet snow. My mom always used to carry on that my father would have a heart attack shoveling snow. So we'd lose the house and have no where to live. My siblings ignored this. I took it to heart.
I have shoveled snow since I was young, to keep my father alive and a roof over our heads.

My fathers been gone several years BUT, I still shovel the snow. There are no sidewalks here. But my brother comes over on the weekend. I have to shovel a long driveway so that he doesn't get stuck in the snow. I also have to shovel out my end of the street because the village thinks there is NO ONE worth bothering with in the last house (me) .Some years they push all the street snow in front of MY mailbox.

I complained one year, telling those at village hall, I was a senior citizen and the plow driver not only buried my mailbox but also anyway to get into the driveway. The street ends a few feet UP the driveway. I get tired of repeating this to them. Forty eight years of doing my end of the street because the guy in a huge truck with plow is too lazy to go to the end . Adjacent to the driveway on the west side, is an empty, easement - where snow can easily be pushed and piled up.

One year they said they would send a driver 'right out' to clear the mailbox & bottom of driveway. By the time they showed up late that day, I had it clear and the street up to my next neighbor. Also cleared out paths to the mailbox for 3 of the neighbors. Once I get going, it's hard to stop.

Because I do such a great job I am rewarded by people letting their dogs poop all over the driveway. I have not had a dog since 1989.
