Lisa I know, I
really need to make friends with the snow don't I
instead of complaining and ranting about something that is inevitable!
Yes a BIG hello to
Kathleen, we miss you like crazy but completely understand if we don't see you here. But we are thinking of you!!
Hi
Coop !!
Hi Monica!! !!
and I hope I'm not forgetting anyone else who IS a part of our group
but hasn't said hi lately, we are still a suppportive group for you
I am s-l-o-w-l-y adjusting to all plants being dead outside, it just takes time for me. And yes I can look forward to next spring, and anticipating doing what I love all over again.
I need some boots...ones suitable for these Vermont winters, ones to wear when I have to shovel, or just to trudge
through the snow and ice. I've had a pair of Merrells for gosh like 10 years!! I remember at the time when I had to pay $120 for them I was like
but I sure got my money's worth didn't I!!
We still need to wait and hear from the State if they considered my brother destitute; the State pays up to $1100 towards funeral costs if so. If not...then we have to come up with that money. So I might hold off.
No sun here today
but I love looking at that symbol
and I love our will power symbol
so here's that too
have as good a day as you can!!
the dreaded SN*W (it's a four-letter word to me) last night 
Yeah I know it's inevitable. It might be gone in a few days, I think I saw 40's degrees coming and rain. At least, this covering of white is the sober reminder and kick in the butt for me to do final preparations outside, remove flowerpots before they become final-frozen to the ground, and other barriers to snow shoveling (GAH) 
She STILL is not understanding how we are splitting up the costs of the funeral!! very frustrating. I almost want to just say 'screw it' and pay the extra but I work too hard for my money to do that!!!
