Blizzard

 We are expecting a blizzard. Yeah … I’m so excited …not. We have ice melt, snow shovels and gas for the snowblower.  We have flashlights and candles in case the power goes out.  The pantry and freezer are well stocked.  Filled the tanks in both cars to make sure they don’t freeze.  Windshields are covered so that the wipers don’t freeze to the glass.  It’s a pity the house no longer has a working fireplace, so no need to stick up on Duraflame. We are ready.

Saturday 9

  With or Without You Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! Saturday 9: With or Without You (1987)    Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here .   1) "With or Without You" is about the pain of love. What song reminds you of an old romance?

He was trying to resolve the responsibilities of being a husband with the demands of his career. He worked it through,...

Again?

 So it rained all day today, melting most of the snow pack that was still on the ground  Just in time for the nor’easter to hit Sunday.  We are expecting 10-13 inches of snow. Here on Long Island we expect cold weather, we expect snow and ice.  But this winter has been colder and with much more snow than usual. Can it be spring soon? Time to hunker down.  Again.

Winter walk

 For the first time in forever I was able to take a walk in my neighborhood. There’s still snow in the ground, but the sidewalks are clear. The snow on my lawn is filthy, car exhaust has turned it black … But it felt good to be outside, to get some fresh air.   Some of my neighbors still have Christmas decorations on their lawns, a few have decor from Valentine’s Day, and one has already decorated for St. Patrick’s Day.  I hope to be able to walk again soon. They’re forecasting snow again this weekend…
