Before, During and After

 
I should have thought ahead a bit.  But since I am only just trying to do more photography and better photography, you will have to excuse me.  I did try.

 

Before

 

The above picture was taken at night, before there was really any snow on the ground, just to give you an idea of the lattice fence I have around my garden and how it looks from our deck.  The lattice pieces are 24 inches.

The above picture was taken the day before the storm, just to show you how much we had at that time.  There had already been two days of snow the week before, and so this was melted down some, but you get the idea.

And this last picture, above, is after the storm.  I would say that we got about 18 inches on the 14th, on top of the 5 inches that were still there from the week before. THEN, we got another 5 inches on the 15th that are not shown here in this picture, after I had taken it.

I was fortunate that Dear Darlings work told them on the 12th that they would not be open on the 13th, so he came home that evening after working late that night.  He was supposed to be off today as well, but he asked the boss if he could have off Friday instead and he would come in today, the holiday, so that he wouldn't have to travel back and have another long day, just to come home again that night.  They agreed.

I am so lucky and fortunate to have a Dear Darling such as he, that works so hard to provide for us and then comes home and because of snow gets no real rest for the weekend.  We shoveled, snow blowed and had the plow on the quad on Thursday and spent over 4 hours together clearing the snow from our driveway and the lip of the street near it, plus our neighbors driveway across the street, and we helped out our neighbor next door, as we knew his snow blower blew up the storm before and he had not gotten a new one yet.

Then, we did it all over again on Friday evening, as well as help our Darling Boy out over at his house.  He was working 24 hour shifts to help cover for people who couldn't get to work.

Saturday came and we did some more!

I was spoiled having him home for an extended visit.
