The snow piles are so tall, it's hard to throw the snow on top and too many times, a big shovel full slides right back down into the drive. We had four more inches Thursday, which I just finished shoveling this afternoon..JPG)
Parking lots are so full of snow, you can't see around them to pull out into traffic. Same with street corners.
I was excited to find a few new foods I can eat, especially something that crunches. I'm so hungry for crunch! In my never-ending quest for the end to migraines, I am doing a diet with no sugar (only sour fruit. No oranges, bananas, etc), no gluten, and very low carbohydrates. Pretty limiting. Twenty two of these peas only have 22 grams of carbs. The tortillas are corn and lime, nothing else. One is only 12 carbs and I can crisp it in the oven. Oh, boy!
I got new glasses in November. I have been back 7 times for adjustments, and have not been able to wear them for a single day. I had an appointment today to have my eyes re-examined. And, it was a block away from one of my favorite charity shops!
Gift wrapping paper with birds (downy woodpeckers and loons), a skein of cashmere and lambswool knitting wool, a Valentine doily for a certain pink-loving someone, tiny socks with cars, and two brand new photo albums for 99 cents each--all found their way into my basket.
Last stop: the library. Now I'm ready to hunker down and stay home to knit, read, draw, embroider, and shovel, shovel, shovel. Snow...cold...bring it on!
Thanks for reading my blog. I love reading your comments.
Wow you have a lot of snow. I don't think I've seen that much snow since I was a child and I lived in a place where the snow came to the rooftops every winter. No kidding. It doesn't seem to snow like that anymore in those parts. I'm sorry you are having problems with your eye glasses and the eye doctor. It seems to be a common problem these days and I'm wondering why? I hope you get it sorted soon. Cold weather seems like a good reason for staying indoors and knitting or crocheting ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear Cynthia I don't envy you one bit - think of us today tho. - we have an expected high of 41c/105f. Im going to be doing my own hunkering down wth a book not in a cool room.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you reading at the moment? Im just about to start One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson, the second in a series I discovered the other week. Easy detective reads.
Take care
Cathy
I just discovered the author Maeve Binchy on another blog, and I am reading Minding Frankie. I read a lot of nonfiction, too, and am also reading BeaBea,Her Diary, Her Life, which was free on Amazon.
DeleteWow, 105 degrees ... that is toooo hot!
My goodness! The snow! I think everybody is ready for spring and warmer weather!
ReplyDeleteWe gave our snow blower to our son. He may have to come over and help you out. Lives in Elk River!!! Remember when we were kids and had high snow banks, every car had a bright colored ball on top of their radio antenna?
ReplyDeleteI do remember those balls. We should bring them back! Thanks for offering the services of your son--I'm sure he would be thrilled to have more snow to move around!
DeleteGreat purchases!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe my granddaughter and son-in-law went to Lake Geneva for skiing. I hope it starts getting warmer. They can't afford a lot more snow days in Illinois. My daughter was feeling ill and had to stay at the lodge which was just as well. Much as I love snow, this year has really been over the top.
ReplyDeleteIn Poland this year we have a spring weather. We have some snoe only 1 week. Now is spring. Greetings from Bytom.

Bye and stay warm. I have email and Skype.
ReplyDeleteYou got some good buys..I loved that wrapping paper..way cool. Your snow bank are pretty high..here too they have to blow out the corners at stop sign because you cannot see around them.
ReplyDeleteWe got out today because it was 5 above zero!! heat wave! Stay warm and cheer up I am sure your snow will be gone before ours:)
You have a really amount of snow, a bit boring after a while I think....But better times will once come back.
ReplyDeleteI have totry this again. I read your post and thought I could not leave a comment because I Don't have. Google account. I came back today and I see that I can comment after all. I love the look of your charity shop and it was fun to read what fun things you found. Have a nice day.
