April Snow Storm

by Terry on Tuesday, April 21, 2009

My husband and I had a bet going, I said that we would get at least one more major snowstorm before the season was over.   He didn’t believe me.  As I was born and raised in the Northwoods, I knew that it would happen.

After a over a month of no snow cover (and a frozen septic), we got yesterday morning to no power and 6″ of wet, heavy snow.  This morning, there is at least another 3″.  My husband measured late yesterday afternoon and there were 7.5″ on the ground, so now with what we got last night, we have a good 10″ or more and its still coming down.tn_pict0474 tn_pict0475

Never judge a book by its cover

by Terry on Monday, April 13, 2009

Two years ago on Britain’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, an unassuming mobile phone car salesman blew away the judges and brought the audience to its feet with his amazing tenor voice.  Paul Potts went on to win the contest and to date has sold over 2 million albums.  At the time of the contest, Paul was 40,000 in debt.

On Saturday, the female version of Paul Potts wiped the smirk off Simon Cowell’s face and made us all realize that we’re all too cynical.  If you want to hear the voice of an angel, then listen to Susan Boyle and she will make your day.

Where’s Spring?

by Terry on Wednesday, April 1, 2009

I thought we were going to have an early spring….HA!  I should have known better.  It’s snowing like crazy, last night was rain/snow/sleet.  The squirrels now have figured out how to get into the squirrel proof feeder.  They have jammed the door open!

Here’s one of them making his way up the pole to pig out.
