then & now: mountains & molehills

Last week was my first week back to work. The good news is that the term has brought with it more hours (and consequently, more pay, oh happy thought); the bad news is that the posts here will likely be (even) more intermittent. So because I'm too exhausted to entertain you with stories, here are some pictures of the bizarre winter weather we've been experiencing.

Dec 16 ~ Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
The view out the front door the Sunday that James and Dave shovelled the driveway twice.

Dec 18 ~ view out the patio door

Jan 1 ~ our driveway & front door
The snowbank between our driveway and our neighbors' was taller than James.
Let's just say we've gotten good at slinging snow.

Jan 13 ~ we had rain, we had sun, we'd two seasons rolled into one
The view looking towards our front door (1st photo) & across the street (2nd). Yes, that is grassy lawn you see poking out all over. I'm pleased to report that visibility all around is much improved since Friday, when the City trucked out the snow that had been accumulating on the far side of the sidewalk. Also, our mountain has devolved into a molehill.
