Snow Day #2--S.O.S. (Save our Shed)

Jeff had to go to school today, but my district declared another snow day. I am anxious to see if Jeff had any students show up at school. I really have no idea how walkers are supposed to get to school. There are no sidewalks completely cleared--most are covered with hip-high berms. I think most districts are hoping that the wet snow/rain that we're going to get in the next few days will help somehow--we'll have to wait and see.

We forgot to clear our little woodshed of snow when we shoveled our roof two days ago (and we were busy shoveling Jeff's grandparents roof yesterday), so I decided that as soon as Grace went down for her nap I'd try to go shovel it off. Here's a before pic:


And here's the after pic:


Not completely cleared, but mostly cleared. Jeff can tackle the rest when he gets home. I think I was a little late on the rescue mission, as the back of the shed was already bowing out. I'm pretty sure the wood stacked inside is what is holding it up. I should've taken a picture of the broken shovel that I started with and the even MORE broken shovel that I ended with. If anyone wants to ship a snow shovel to us in Spokane feel free! The stores are out! :)



Yesterday Jeff grabbed the camera in time to catch a couple of pictures of the DEER that wandered into town and strolled down our road. Good thing we're stocked with Macaroni and Cheese in the pantry or we'd be running to grab Ol' Betsy. (That one was for you, Marc.)

Way to go on the shed saving! When we got back into town it was too late to save ours :( Luckily our neighbor had a ladder for us to borrow cause ours in buried under the snow and shed! So Keith spent today on multiple family members roofs---sorta lame to spend our snow days working so hard to make sure our houses stay standing! And it will really be fun celebrating the 4th of July with our students as we make up these snow days!!! Happy shoveling :)

LE once again the Mac N Cheese won out over fresh food, I am disappointed.
Needless to say Jeffrey will have another chance to use Ol' Betsy in say..... 2025 when Gracie is 16 and she discovers BOYS!!!!!
