The joys of a small town

This morning Mike and I woke up to a winter-wonderland in MARCH! The 3 inches they were predicting as recent as this morning was quickly turned into 12 inches. Yes we turned on the news and they said there is maybe more than 3 inches north of the cities, but no more than 3-apparently they did not get the memo that Hutchinson is not north of the cities.

Well I am not going to rant about the weather prediction and lack of follow-up with it. But the awakening was a shock to say the least. Most of the city by 9a.m. had not yet been plowed (again they too were prepared for only 3 inches). Mike had to work by 8a.m. so thus drove through the snow! But we have wonderful neighbors who actually own snowblowers ( a purchase we are highly considering after a year like this). Our neighbors see Mike struggling-since I cannot help much right now with the heavier snow-and push their blowers over and help us out!

Thiessen loves this weather-I think he would much rather have winter year round than any summer since he can run and run and run. Although he is starting to feel too much freedom and experimenting on exploring our backyard neighbor's lawn (this means going around the fence).

Long story short today was a lovely snowy day. Mike was able to get to work thanks to our friendly neighbors and I worked from home. Again, since the town is smaller and our church has a snowplow of our own, I couldn't get into the parking lot (the snow was above my wheels)!

Have a wonderful day!

Much love from the "boonies"
