Storm Nemo!...Snow Coming Atcha!!!!

      Oh Yeah!...It's a 'doozy'!...We got about 17 inches so far, and we're due to get at least a couple more before it's done! I've got pictures to share with you of it too! :-) ... First I'll show you the photo I saw from the local WGGB news station...

      This picture above was taken in my father's town. O_O I'm glad that wasn't his car!!...And why were the lights on? O_O ... Anyway!!! Moving on!...
         Remember what the backyard looked like yesterday...before the storm?!...

       There was hardly any snow on the ground even!...

     But the header photo is what it looks like right now!...while it's STILL snowing!!... 

      And below is what the suet bird feeder looked like. Ooooooo!....Awwwww! ^_^

     During the night, me and some friends of mine, here in Holyoke, took pictures. I found the video below on Youtube. It was taken here in Holyoke when the storm was in full swing last night, with the wind blowing the snow around like crazy!!...




          Below are some photos from 'our' back patio porch last night. Hubby pulled the chair up close to the door. Can you se that pile of snow behind it though?! O_O...

       If you think that's bad...look at what we saw this morning!!!...

      We couldn't get out the back door even if we wanted to right now! O_O Hubby is just about to start the excavation process. ^_^

      It's a whole lot of snow Y'all!!!!...*gulp!*

    My girlfriend was having some trouble trying to get out of her house too!! She said she had to lower her daughter out of a window so that she could go out and shovel the doorway!! LOL...

     The pictures below are from her complex area...

    One of these, I think, is her car!!! ^_^ YIKES!!! I don't envy her husband this morning!! O_O

     But guess what?!...Someone 'is' enjoying the snow!...

       The little birdies in my backyard!!! :-) They've been chirping and frolicking...and eating...like crazy birdies this morning!!! ;-] In fact, they're so intensely focused on the suet feeder this morning...

         ...that hubby's staring them down to take photos didn't deter them one bit!!...The woodpecker even stopped to stare directly at hubby, and then went right back to eating!!! ^_^

      And does that woodpecker's eye look like an human's eye, or is that just me?!!...Kinda unnerving!! LOL
 

      So, needless to say, we're not doing much of anything today either! The governor has a state of emergency called, and no cars are allowed on the roads until at least 1:00 p.m. So, nobody's going anywhere!! :-]
      I might be able to force hubby into a game of Scrabble! ^_^ Considering how bad I beat him the last time though....I might not! LOL...But even so, we both have some crocheting to do!...I've got a list of boutonniere color combinations I have to do yet...and his scarf that was suppose to be done by Friday...of last week!..still is being worked on! And another Friday has come and gone! :-))
      Looking out the window into the backyard, I'd say we have 'PLENTY' of time!!! ^_^ Thanks storm Nemo!!...Have a good day, Everybody!! :-)

Sometimes

Sometimes you expect a little 'This', and you get 'That'.
Sometimes you will wave away some dust, but it's a gnat.

Sometimes it's an image in the distance that's right here.
Sometimes all the straining isn't worth the things you hear.

Sometimes you will find that 'pretty bad' has got a perk.
Sometimes a vacation is the thing that you call work.

Sometimes conversation meant to heal can go too far.
and sometimes on reflection you are happy who you are.

Sometimes poetry can be so random, and yet deep.
And sometimes it's, upon reflection, thoughts you ought to keep.
