Movie scenes in my life......

So we woke up this morning, after going to bed at 2:30AM, to snow. The 2:30 AM thing came from a big project due today at school and a son who procrastinated and needed a little help. So we woke up this morning and we had snow again. As I mentioned in the post before this one Mike is out of commission. So this would be me out on the riding lawn mower/plow this morning. Mike also had to go to the Doctor, he kept telling me he should be out there, and I told him he needed to heal, and that would just hurt him. I ended up being out in the snow for 2 hours this morning. I have to admit it was pretty fun. That was my first time on any riding lawn mower. We had a car parked out in the street, I wanted it moved to the driveway. Big dump trucks drive down our streets after a snow and shoot all of the snow off the street as they go. Unfortunately they spray it up in our driveways and on our sidewalks it shoots at least 12 feet. So I was out in front of the car, trying to clear a spot when one of those trucks came driving toward me. The mower doesn't move fast enough for me to get out of the way. So all I could do was "duck and cover!" He let up a little when he saw me but I got hit with a shower of snow. Just like in the movies. It made me smile, because it just struck me funny. So I kept riding and scrapping and the big truck had turned around and come back down the other side of the street. He stopped and rolled his window down and apologized. I had a thing on that covered my face only my eyes where showing. So I yelled "it's OK" and waved and nodded. Hopefully he knew I didn't care.

So then I had been out in the cold for just about 2 hours. It was kinda fun because the snow was so powdery and easy to move. But my toes and knees and thighs were freezing. I cleared the spot for the car and had to scrape the car windshield off it had about 4 or 5 inches of powdery snow. As the snow fell away, there hanging on the rear view mirror, was a Hawaiian Lei. I instantly flashed to a warm sandy beach, with a palm tree and warm sunshine. It was just like in a scene movie. But I came back to reality to my cold powdery snow. I have to admit I enjoyed the entire thing. Including the hot bath to defrost my body!

Then I just took a picture of our forest so you can see it in the dark:-)
