Seamus snow covered!

“Nemo” hit us but not like the New England states.
They got like 3 feet of snow & we got about 3 inches!

On the snow blower — a bunny & a turtle.
Michael was trying to teach me how to use the snow blower.
It was a disaster – me learning the snow blower.
I still have NO IDEA what bunny and/or Turtle mean!

I’m just going to shovel from here on out…..
it’s easier…. in some ways…..

We went over to our neighbors & shoveled/snow blowed
as they were out of town.

Meeting of the snow blowers in the Alley!
Ted’s snow blower has HAND WARMERS!!!

Michael trying to tell our Chinese neighbor,
using hand signals only, that his snow blower spark plugs
were bad – this was interesting….. just talk loud –
or not all. It was like a game of Charades.

We stopped at the Beer Store to get some Chicory Stout.
I didn’t realize it was just a seasonal beer.
Got to snatch up what we can find before it is sold out.
We have none left at my store & only one 4 pack here.

At one point, Chester stole one of the dog eyes –
they were racquetballs!

Birds using the bird house to hunker down in.
That’s why I leave up the houses.
For the Birds!

friend Amy’s birthday today (#40!!!!!)

Happy Birthday Amyson 🙂

==================================
 

All you need to be happy is within you.
Many people seek happiness in
food, drugs, alcohol, shopping, partying, sex …
because they’re seeking external happiness.
They don’t realize the tools for happiness
aren’t outside them. They’re right inside you:
mindfulness, gratitude, compassion, thoughtfulness,
the ability to create and do something meaningful,
 even in a small way.
