Don't Mess With Mother Nature.....

And how true that is. Its seems like Mother Nature has had a severe case of PMS this month around the country given the fact that snow has been flying for almost two weeks here. Yes, I know it is winter in the Northeast but come on now. It has been snowing for two days straight here and it is getting a bit ridiculous. I totally have new found respect for everyone who lives in Upstate New York and really snowy states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc.

And it is amazing how the effects of winter weather changes you once you own a home. What a different level of worrisome emerges. Take last night for example.....In the span of time that took me to give Daniel a bath, get him ready to go to sleep and then to sleep all this happened...

1) This huge tree limb fell in our front yard. Luckily it landed on Mike's work truck and not own personal vehicles. And yes, we have too much crap to get at least one of our cars in the garage. But Mike is all excited cause it gave him an excuse to get a chainsaw...

2) A tree fell down on our side street...

3) Causing the telephone pole in front of our house to snap and land in another one of our trees. This did give us an amazing light show last night as all the transformers blew at 11:00 p.m......

4) As well as snapping another telephone pole at the back of our house leaving us with power (thankfully) but not the entire neighborhood behind us. It does appear that the pole missed our fence but we shall see once the Power Company shows up and starts to replace the two poles.

5) And the snow continues to come down.

We bought a house, why? And does anyone have some Midol for Mother Nature?
