I'm so ready for winter to be kaput! This is what I woke up to last Wednesday




I lived near Austin, TX for 12 years and loved the winters there after living all my life in Michigan. I avoided the extreme heat when I could in mid-summer, but there were winters when the temps never got down to freezing. Didn't have or need a winter coat. In 2006 I was downsized out of my job in TX, my daughter was carrying the baby who would likely be my last grandchild, and my mother had issues and needed help, so I headed back to Michigan to be near my family.

I loved the snow and playing in it as a child--whatever was I thinking!! Wednesday I had to bring the shovel in the house and push the snow off the porch in front of the door to get outside. Sure glad the shovel was in the attached garage! The second picture is looking out from inside the garage. Nice imprint of the door trim in the snow! We got a foot of snow, but the wind neatly arranged it into drifts. Winter begone!
