So today it took me all morning to get things together to face the recycler and other stops along the way til I got to dad's house. By then the snow was so bad that I couldn't bear to stay long with dad. I swept his walk and then bade farewell and went on home before it got too dark. I think we have about 15 inches of new snow in our yard just from the afternoon. I don't mind but the driving is difficult. Watch out for the loony birds who think they know how to drive in the snow!
