Dreaming in Wisconsin!!!

What am I dreaming of here in Wisconsin you ask???

I'm dreaming of Spring of course!!!

This is what I woke up to this fine Wednesday morning ~

It rained all day yesterday and all through the night.

It lightening and thundered and the temps started to drop.

So I woke up to everything covered not with snow but with ICE!

Lets take a look around ~

(click on pics to enlarge to get a better view)

I'm Dreaming of warm spring breezes ~

I'm Dreaming of the smell after a gentle rain ~

I'm Dreaming of fresh linens on the line~

I'm Dreaming of seeing the first buds of life to appear ~

I'm Dreaming of walking barefoot in the soft grass ~

I'm Dreaming of sowing those first seeds ~

I'm Dreaming of warmth from the sun ~

I'm Dreaming of watching the birds build their nests ~

 

Then my power went out while I was writing this post and everything went dark ~

Oh No ~ the sump pump isn't running ~ after that everything spiraled out of control!

I had to carry buckets of water out of the basement to keep the water from flowing into the furnace,

After a couple of times of going up and down the steps the steps got slippery ~

Yep you guessed it ~

I fell down the steps

I landed face first into the concrete floor

I was soaked ~ the water was pass my ankles

I'm so Thankful I didn't get knocked out ~ because they probably would of put it on the news about some women that drowned in her basement!!!

I managed to crawl up the steps ( it was soooooo dark) and call my son for help.

(Thank-You Michael!!!)

I'm O.K. ~ My face is scraped up, I have a fat lip, my whole right side of my body is bruised along with my pride. Tomorrow will be another day ~ we'll see how I feel then.

 

We're suppose to get hit with another storm tonight ~ Ugh

There are some people in our surrounding areas that still don't have power ~ I pray for them ~ please be safe.

 

With all that I'm signing off ~

 

Until Next Time

 

Let's all say a prayer

for all the people around the country 

that have been hit by some nasty storms today.

Be safe my Friend!

 

Blessings

I Can't Believe My Eyes! It's April

Good Evening Everyone!

 Yes I can't believe my eyes ~ It's April and we are having a snow storm!

Earlier this afternoon it started to snow  ~ Aren't we suppose to have April showers?

Around 4:00 when I was getting ready to go to work it started to thunder and lightning.

The thunder was so loud the house shook.  Some people lost their power and the lightning knocked out their phone service.  I guess they call it a thunder snow storm ~ I would rather have the rain.

This is what it looked like on my way to work ~ driving wasn't very much fun.

 It just kept snowing and snowing!

I thought for sure we wouldn't have been busy ~ why does every body go out to eat when the weather is this bad?  I couldn't believe that some even brought their small children out in this ~ the roads were terrible.

I don't even think the snow plows were out ~ I think with the price of gas it would put them way over their budget!  

This snow was that heavy wet stuff that stuck to everything.

When I got done with work around  ten o'clock this it what it looked like.

So you can compare or comprehend how much snow we have so far ~ yes it's still snowing.

I'll show you a  picture when it started to snow and what it looked like when I got home.

Look at all the snow on the picnic table!

And my lounge chairs!

 I hope everyone stays safe from this storm and I hope tomorrow is a better day!

Until next time

Prim Blessings!
