I have wanted a big snow for so many years. I can't count how long it has been. The last big snow I remember was in 1996, when we had snow up to the bottom of our deck chairs. It was January 31, 1996, and I had two bald eagles land in my backyard near the lake. It was amazing. There has not been any significant snow in the 2000 years -- and it isn't because of global warming (or is it climate change now). But I digress.
Right now, it is snowing,and there is about an inch on the ground. If the weather people (are they the same ones who say we have global warming -- or just souped up versions of them) are right, we could have up to a foot of snow when it is all said and done. Yet, I have to drive to Nashville Sunday afternoon, but I think it will be fine by then. I may not be able to take my shortcut through Dutch Valley, Oliver Springs and Harriman, but that will be okay.
I did get some relief, albeit perhaps temporary, for my elbow. Dr. Calhoun stuck a needle in my forearm because it appears I have two issues going on. I hope it works. I am not a complainer, and I can endure a lot of pain, but my arm has been a complete source of discomfort, wincing and just changing my actions for quite some time. It is hard to function when you cannot write, pull on your jacket on or squeeze the shampoo bottle without that previously mentioned wincing.
But I look on the bright side. It is snowing and it looks like it is going to be a good one. I can't wait to wake up in the morning, fix my boys and the poopies breakfast and see if we can find some one in the compound with a sled. We have an awesome hill -- with a wicked curve. We might need to go to the end of the curve and work that hill. I will watch them, not participate. I hope to get some great photos.
Okay, the snow is REALLY starting to come down. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Peace, every one!
