Promises

I made a promise that if we JUST didn't lose power.....electricity or cable , that I would NOT complain about the amount of snow, or how cold it is, or how long it took to clear our circle.
Promise kept. The white snow, blue sky, bright sun ....all stunningly beautiful.

The squirrels have been diligently digging out the bird feeder for themselves and bird friends. Our cats, White and Monkey, have been keeping watch over the front yard. They will hit the window with their paws if they see any unfair practices. A blue jay visited briefly.

I also made a promise to my family that I would NOT shovel any snow.....very hard for me not to shovel, I love shoveling..........THANKS to our kind neighbor Jeff and his snow blower.......(he came 3 times) our walkway and driveway are PERFECTLY clear . Now when it warms up a bit and melts I do plan to 'sweep and push' some snow. (not the same as shoveling)

Got lucky.
Not WHATEVER
