How Many More Shall Suffer!

Well this HAS been an interesting week, between the flooding in the East of ND and the Blizzard in the West, this state is a mess! We received 18 inches of snow total and I’m told that more is suppose to come next week. ICK! This week there was 2 snow days were work was cancelled.

Dan and I have decided that we do need to buy a snow blower. Thank GOD for friends….Kim, Lenny, and Miranda came over on Wednesday t o help dig us out and allow us back into civilization! The best part was that as we were getting closer a man driving a skid steer came and helped unblock the driveway from when the city plowed a 5 foot high drift. I couldn’t believe how nice he was and that he was willing to help us out!

We do have some bad news and it has been a rough week at our house, we have had to let our shovel go. It was the shovel that my mother game me. It had been limping by but this last storm broke its spirit and the brace of the back. So we have had to get replacements. We are keeping them separated, don’t want to kick the dead shovel while it’s down!
This is another example of “the Dickinson Way”. This snow bank is not another example of just how much snow we received, this snow bank is the median of Sims Ave, separating the two directions of traffic, right outside of the post office!
