Winter has over stayed its welcome

It has been a doozy of a winter; a winter from my childhood.  We have had umpteen inches of snow and even with a good rain this past weekend, we still have snow banks in our yards, streets and driveways!  Today, here, my house, we just missed being in a Blizzard Warning area.  The Bondurant folks are in one.  Out there in that new subdivision with no trees or shrubs to stop the wind, I bet they will have 5 foot drifts!  I would love to live in the country every day of the year except for those days when there are ice or blizzard warnings!  And this winter, we have had one or the other at least once a week, I think.  The local school has missed so many "weather" days that the last day of school has been pushed out to June 2 or 3, already and we still have February and March to wade through.  Kristy, these photos are for you -- because all the rest of us are sick of it!  lol (just kidding, Mother Nature!  just kidding)

Berries, under ice

shhhh, I don't want to tempt fate!
