Long time no news

Oh, my goodness, I have sure not kept up with this blog thing!
Well, here we go, it is January 5, 2010 (can you believe it? Just 10 years ago people were preparing for 'y2k'. 9 years ago 9-11 happened, we have a African American/White President. Many of our relatives and some friends have passed on, but oh my goodness we are into another decade. Wow!!)
Here in the Ozarks when it snows it usually lasts about 3 days, at the most. This year, however, it started snowing on Saturday and did not stop for at least 24 hours, accumulation of about 3". Now for those of you reading this in the north, that isn't even enough to get out the snow blower, however, with only a few snow plows in the county, we don't go anywhere. School has been called now for the past 2 days and one more tomorrow for sure. We are predicted to get another snow/ice storm on Thursday. The ice here is really bad. I only remember being in an ice storm when Jim was in college in Olivet, MI. The ones here are bad, the one last year was especially bad. I would much rather have snow.
So, I will not be working tomorrow. Kind of nice not having to go to work, but the paycheck suffers as well. We will have to make it up in the spring.
I have much that has happened since August, but will have to catch-up another time. Hopefully sooner than 4 months. Have some photos as well, and maybe I will post a photo or two of our snow. The temps have not been warm enough (-2 this morning) to melt much of it. The chickens are spending a lot of time on my front porch. What a mess. Oh, well in the spring I will just get out the hose, soap, bleach and scrub brush, to clean it all off.
Love to all.... I'll write soon.....
