Lots of White Stuff Out There

Nature has a way of making you do things you have been putting off. I haven't got my Christmas stuff finished yet. I've been hitting the sack early because of a cold coming on. Well I'm behind because the cards have to printed here since I do my own designs every year. Since I do half sized cards I have to print on both sides. I have a great HP printer but the designs are intricate and it takes a while to print.

About one o'clock this afternoon it started to snow and hasn't stopped yet. They are predicting about eight inches. I had to shovel almost four inches of snow off of my car at 4:30 this afternoon. Mother and my brother are working and there is no way I'll be able to sleep until Mom gets home safely. Even when I go to bed early I can't fall asleep until I hear her come in and know she is okay. She doesn't get off until eleven tonight and I'm not getting ready for bed until she gets home. She has her cell phone in case of trouble but I want to make sure she is home safe and sound before I go to bed. While I wait for Mom I'll work on Christmas cards etc. Now if Mother Nature could just be a little more subtle I would be happy.

The picture is called "Chicago WInter Dreams" and came about when shortly after I moved to the Midwest we had a horrible winter with over three feet of snow at one time and I wondered if the city of Chicago could dream what would it dream about?
