Good heavens Jeanne. Will you be getting reimbursed by the city for that damage. I would hope you would, at the very least they should be repairing it since it was their fault. You go after them. I sure would.

Well, you all know my opinion of snow and winter. Have had to bear it for 57 years now. I think I enjoyed it as a child, but as I am sure I've mentioned before, I could live without it. First, you can't grow anything in the snow. I hate that! Driving in it is a nightmare for me and the older I get, the more paranoid I get. It's so messy. On days like today when it's mild and the snow is melting, everthing gets tracked in and I get so tired of cleaning it up after the dog and and the husband. God Bless'im, he's out there right now, shovelling the stuff we got yesterday off of the greenhouse and garage roofs, because they are so heavy now with it melting and raining. Don't know what I'd do if something happened to him, because shovelling and snowblowing is just not my "cuppa tea". I actually do know what I would do If something did happen to him and that would have to mean I'd move to the coast or the Island, where the likelihood of large amounts of everlasting snow is diminished. Of course, I don't like to think of those kinds of things, but I do also know my limits.

But on that pessimistic note, I am comforted in the thought that Spring is officially only 8 weeks away, and the worst of January is behind us. It can only get better from here. I'll just keep thinking of the photo that Jeanne just posted of her graden in summer and dream my way to April.
