Winter is back! We hardly knew ye

Well, just as soon as spring showed it’s face winter smacked it and said get back in the basement, I’m calling the shots. And is winter ever calling those shots! We’re expecting literally the first substantial snow fall I know of this season and certainly this year. The snow shovel was getting bored, the gloves were buried since I never used them, in fact, Brooke forgot her ice scraper in my car since she hasn’t used it this entire season. In the season’s defense she doesn’t use it unless it dumps a foot or two. She kind of drives blind and fast enough to “blow it all off”.

Well let’s hope it’s as bad or worse as they say it should be. We need the moisture badly and I just love the snow. And this is big-flake snow too, not that sissy flurry nonsense. This’ll stick to your ribs and pretty much everything else it hits. And it’ll be in the 60s this weekend. I love Denver!

Birthdays was the worst days, now we sip champagne when we thirstay

The title has no relevance to the post but I’m listening to the Notorious B.I.G. Discography and think it’s the best line in Juicy. Anyway, ever had the snot in your nose freeze as soon as you go outside? Doubtful as most of our readers are family in Phoenix! They know all about the smell of burning flesh when you get in your car. So it’s 1 degree today. It stopped snowing but it never really started. It wanted to snow for the last 24 hours but we ended up with like 3 inches. I was out sweeping it off (shovels are for suckers) and my snot was frozen. I think I was about to get frost bite in the hands since I didn’t take gloves. Sweat pants, slippers, and a snowboarding jacket. Even the puppies wanted to go inside. I took them in about 2 minutes after they came out. It seems like just yesterday we had our AC units installed but so long ago at the same time!
