Today, I Will Not Shovel ......

Even though the porch looks like this....I am done. I have shoveled all winter . Went out to shovel to the mailbox on Sunday....for the paper. Felt a little twinge in my back...now it's out a bit. So I am nursing my back.  Today they (weathermen) are saying 42 degrees. Well yesterday they said 38 and it never got there. So if it gets to 42, then this stuff can melt on it's own. I am so done with it.
 Now let's talk Spring...wowwee , it's so very close now. I am thinking of going to Horton's in town and see if they have any pansies yet. Just something to look at and dream.
  Everyone, I hope you know what makes an ice dam on your house . It's rounds of  thawing and refreezing, on your gutters. They can be so costly. Get your broom and knock that sliding snow off the edge of your house...if you can.  We always keep an eye on it. Take care everyone. xo

  1. i am SO glad i don't have to see snow. i hope i never do again. ever. we once had a very lllooooonnnnngggggg driveway and if we did get it shoveled the snow plow would come by and close it up at the bottom every time.

  2. Let it melt and hope you back feels better soon. A friend had their gutter fall yesterday because of the ice dam. Its been a racket all night with the ice falling off the trees here. Little crashes and shattering noises all around. The sun is out and the melting has begun.

  3. Oh Susie, I am sorry for sharing my miserable weather with you. I suffer from a bad back so I know the misery that you are going through. Rest and take care of yourself; I will sent an oatmeal cookie to you by carrier pigeon.

  4. Bless your heart. I am feeling you since the ice storm. I have pulled heavy limbs to the road for almost a week now. Last night I could hardly move. So sorry you've had so much.

I kind of his the post but had to put it out there....had to get it off my chest and I couldn't believe how many agreed w me! I even got a couple of texts! I'm thinking we are ALL Done with it. And I went to Hortons for their rummage sale. I bought a few things but no flowers yet.

  10. Take care of that back. We're getting warmer temps today too (24 degrees). I even went outdoors without a jacket to feed the birds and take the dogs out. It was wonderful.

  12. Lots of ice.....
    I think the warmer temps. will cause some problems with all of the snow on the ground. Rest that back..

  13. I shoveled my back porch off last night and woke up to a good 8 to 10 inches of new snow on it. UGH!
    Those ice dams can be awful- xo Diana

  14. I would have stopped weeks ago. That must be so frustrating to shovel only to have snow again. Please be careful Susie
