Dawn after running her new snowblower for three 2-hour sessions to keep up with the snowfall in Spokane 12-18-08.
Yes, I used a yard stick to see how much snow was on the bench outside Dawn's front door.
That is my faithful Blazer! I dropped Dawn at work and then was headed down the freeway when I received the call that the City was closed--which meant the library, too!
This is the view out the front door...no deer today.
Guess we won't be BBQ'ing this weekend.
