Always an Adventure!

Some friends were supposed to come over for lunch today but our plans were canceled because it snowed. With the change of plans, I had more time to take on an adventure so I decided to shovel the sidewalks and driveway. After a bit of shoveling my back started to hurt and I decided it would be much easier to use the snow blower--only problem, I didn't know how to! I called my husband and he talked me through it. Wow, it was fun!

So, I did this
sidewalk
and this 
driveway
with this machine!

The snow blower is quite powerful and at times it was pulling me along faster than I could walk. It wasn't too hard figuring out how to maneuver but it does take practice. I look forward to the next snow storm. Vroom! Vroom!

At the Car Wash

carwash
We went through the new car wash at the gas station just because it has those cool mop-like brushes, old-school style.

I had to open the window and touch the brushes (afterwards, of course) and they felt like a rubbery foam. I wonder what they were made of before?

And, how could I not include this YT video here. It always makes me laugh out loud. This one is funny too.

cottonwood at Jeanette's--fall 2010
Our neighbor's cottonwood tree. I think she said it's over 50 years old and I can't even guess how tall it is, just super tall! It's always this beautiful and stunning in the fall; especially on a sunny day.
