Digging out

Well on Saturday we spent the day digging out Jim's truck and the walkways. Clearing the tree with the chain saw was the most difficult. Sunday we were able to clear the driveway so that I can get my car out. And today Monday as you can see in the picture we almost got the extra parking space cleared. We are both really tired of digging..........

The Big Storm!

Well after all our hard work shoveling yesterday this is what we woke up to! Jim opened the back door to get some firewood to start the fire and the snow was about five feet deep.
This is a view out the kitchen window toward the neighbors house. As you can see the snow is about 6 inches from the top of our backyard fence. And the neighbors have about four feet of snow on the roof. I wonder how much it can hold?
This is the sad thing. We lost one of the tops of out trees. The snow load is soooo heavy. This is the walkway to the front door or was the walkway. We were really blessed it was small and didn't hit the garage or house.
Here is the gate on the side of the house to the backyard. Good thing we left it open or it would have been closed until Spring.
Jim started up the snow blower this morning in the garage and he was slowly working his way out to the street. Which I may add is about three feet higher than usual
This is the neighbors house.
Here is Jim finally getting to the street.

Overall we were very blessed not to have a lot more damage here. And we still have plenty of food in the house. Lots of work ahead. Would love to see all of you but I don't think this weekend is good timing. Lots of trees still breaking, lines down and endless shoveling to do. If we can find a place to put the snow.

Love you, Mom
