10 years or so ago, I moved to North Carolina. It was the fall, and I was thrilled to be moving just in time to avoid the misery of another Maine winter. North Carolina, after all, has very mild winters with hardly any snow. Or it did, until I arrived. Just a few short weeks after I arrived, we got the kind of storm that the locals will tell their grandchildren about for years to come - 28 inches of snow fell over the course of 2 or 3 days!
I've done it again, though luckily to a lesser extent. Its been below zero for several days here, which is rare. And it snowed through the night and all of this morning, and we've gotten more snow than my husband has seen here in a long time. We are currently peeking out at the mess and hoping it will melt, because we do not have a shovel to clean the walk. He went out this morning, but the hardware store is out of shovels. Its only a couple of inches, but it will suck if it turns to ice.
We have stayed in so far this morning, as we were waiting for the plumber. He was supposed to be here by noon, it is now 12:51. G will have to go out soon, because we have nothing for lunch or dinner, so he'll have to write a note to the plumber, as all I can do is unlock the door and say "Goedemiddag" and smile like I'm deranged should he arrive. Keep your fingers crossed that he arrives, we are both thoroughly sick of cold baths.
Enjoy these images of the front and back yard covered in snow!
Gorgeous! I love your back yard, it is so nice and flat, perfect for picnics, and croquet and even a swingset. The landscaping is beautiful too. Can't wait to see how those trees look with leaves on them. Also the house is absolutely adorable. It looks like a really lovely neighborhood (night and day from the getto we bought our house in, LOL). And I totally laghed so hard that trunin asked me what I was laughing at when I read that the hardware store was out of shovels. You really do bring a panic wherever you go, don't you? We'll have to start calling you "white witch" from narnia. You should tempt your neighbors with turkish delight. Hope by now the plumber has arrived and solved the bathtime sadness.
ReplyDeleteLove you!!!
Its is a very cute house, and it seems a nice neighborhood. I was watching some kids next door play in the snow earlier and saw they had a shovel they were playing with, but I resisted the urge to steal it. :D It will melt eventually!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the house and my grand baby. Come on summer.
ReplyDeletewhat exactly does goedemiddag mean? i'm gonna guess good morning or something, possibly oh hello plumber, come in, the bathroom is over that way. LOL.
