digging out...
well you would never know we had a blizzard today except for all the snow and drifts around...it is sunny....blue skies......though very cold and the wind is still blowing like crazy. I did manage to shovel the walk out front by our door and made a path out back for the birds to have places to walk around and I gave them some fresh seed and water. I cut big portions of snow into blocks and lifted that top layer off with the shovel first....then the bottom part was all powdery stuff and easier to shovel.....it only took me about 10 minutes to clear a path to the feeding area and uncover the water dish.....so far no birds....
I called a young man to come and snow blow out my driveway....meanwhile I just had a little girl come to the door asking if I wanted them to clear my drive. Not sure how they were going to do that other than maybe shoveling? I don't know how she could have done much cause the snow was up past her knees! hahaha..she was so cute....and there were others in the 4-wheel drive SUV.....so maybe she is the one who just goes and asks if someone wants their services. I should have asked them how much they were going to charge. It might have been less than the 20.00 the other guy wants....I don't keep cash on hand and I had to scrounge around to get that. I had to write Noah an I OWE U for his bank.....which upset him terribly! After the man called today to confirm coming out I think he wants more money now as he is thinking it is deeper than last night. I was fortunate as I don't think mine drifted deeper but.....we did get some ice on top and it is a bit hard now on top. In fact...some areas I do not even sink down in the snow.....I walk on top of it. Which is so weird. SO if they come and want too much I will tell them to forget it......I will get my shovel out there and do it a little at a time. I don't have to go anywhere anyway. Here are a few pictures....though they do not really show the snow as deep as it is! Wow...I just opened my door to check what damage the city snowplow did at the end of my driveway and another truck with 2 men drove up asking if I wanted them to clear my drive! I should have said YES and let them do it! I hope the guy gets here soon and does not bump up the price!

People from around the world filmed themselves and sent their videos to me. I asked everyone to answer the question "what would you do/want if anything were possible?" in three words or less. THANK YOU to all of you. This project is a true reflection of what we can do together.

this is joe....the dog I wrote about before....I adore him......
these pictures are hard to look at. This dog has the saddest eyes yet he looks at me with hope. I wish I could save him and get him out of the crappy life he has. If you check out the pictures...in the middle of the pen area on the ground is a ROW of piles of poop. It is partially buried in the snow......the holes he has dug are also partially buried with snow. His pee has frozen on the fence or the ground...sigh.........he is still an amazing dog....
if everyone cared-- nickelback
Nickelback If Everyone Cared Lyrics
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars FOR satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing Amen I, I'm I'm alive (I'm alive)
Singing Amen I, I'm alive
[CHORUS]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I,Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen I, I'm alive (I'm alive)
Singing Amen I, I'm alive
[CHORUS (x2)]
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
(x2)
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died
