Wilson's Water Was Wheelie, Wheelie Warm on Wordless Wednesday!

Black and White Sunday: Are We There Yet?!

Anatomy of a Back Ache!

First, here is where the storm finally ran out of steam:

This is not normal for Northern Virginia. Many winters we get nothing more than a dusting. I'd prefer something in the middle, say a foot. This was just plain insane!

We had A LOT of work to get my car and even worse, the driveway, cleared of snow. There is nowhere to put this much snow!

No matter how fit you are, this has got to result in a sore and tired back.....

The driveway looks great now, even fully dried from the warm afternoon sun. However, the court outside my driveway is a whole other issue....

The neighborhood Home Owners Assoc. is responsible for our little court of five houses, and the road it leads to gets cleared by the state DOT. VDOT hasn't been seen today so as a result the HOA can't get to the court. We still won't be going anywhere despite all our work!

Got Corgis?

CHECK!!!

Wilson's a Weirdo! on Wordless Wednesday

Riding Out the Storm

On the ride home from work tonight I could see a thunder storm out to the west. Out in the direction of my neighborhood.....The closer to home I got, the darker it was, with large bolts of lightening and loud peals of thunder. In the homestretch, the rain began, just a little at first, and pouring down buckets by the time I hit the driveway. John's car was gone so I knew Jimmy would be beside himself in the house. He has a bad thunder phobia, and has even managed to infect Wilson with it. I open the door from the garage to the house, and both boys coming flying out! I turned around to get my laptop out of the back of my car and both boys asked most emphatically to be let in the car. They can't jump in without help, but do put their feet up on the door edge to help with being lifted in. I figured, what the heck, if it eases their worries, why not.

Here they are......

Riders on the Storm!
