Snow, lovely snow (not!)

I spend at lot of time today telling myself that Texas has no snow, and that next winter, I won’t have to shovel anything white and fluffy. Actually, I said this to myself for about four hours today. While shoveling. And it wasn’t fluffy. Actually, it was wet, sticky, and packed solid.

Last winter, we had several bad snowfalls. This year, we’ve only had two so far, but they’ve been doozeys. Aaron and I had to dig out our front door, the car, the propane gas tanks in the back, and uncover the front windows today. That took about two and a half hours. Then, at the urging of Grandma Otasaka (whose advice we always take), I climbed on top of the garage and shoveled the snow off. That took another hour and a half. I’m very tired and won’t be writing much more tonite.

Everyone says they want to see more pictures of me. Well, here ya go. If you look really hard, you can see me in the picture up on top.

I’ll try and work on two more posts in the next few days. I have some photos from Coming of Age Day and our second trip to Asahikawa’s zoo – in winter.
