Decisions

I have spent an hour trying to decide whether to go out and get the mail.  I drive the car up to the mailboxes and the driveway and road is covered with a coating of thick ice.  I had to be very careful this morning when I walked out on the deck to get the newpaper.  It was very icy and slick.  Was glad to be back in the house safely.  We also have thick fog.  Can just see across the neighbor's yard and that is about it.  It is supposed to stay till tomorrow.  Praying all my kids get safely to work and back.  There were many car accidents yesterday and also semis on the freeway.

The Rain

The rain is really coming down now in buckets. The wind is blowing so hard you can hardly hold onto your car door when you open it. I went to get the mail and had to hang onto it for dear life or it would blow out of my hand. Our mailboxes are out in the open so I got wet too. It has dropped 10 degrees, as well. It hasn't been a very pleasant day but it is the day the Lord has made so we will rejoice and be glad in it. It makes everything grow and the leaves on the trees and flowers bloom.

Mail Time

It is time to go get the mail again. It is snowing lightly and has been snowing all day. I heard we are to get one to two inches again. We have so much now that they don't know where to put it. The town can haul it outside of town to a big field and dump it there. They are very good about clearing main street quickly. We appreciate that. I feel sorry for the poor mailmen though in this weather.

Mail Time

It is time to go get the mail. We have about a quarter of a block to walk to our mailboxes. They are all locked and secured so you need your key. The weather has been rotten so it isn't the most fun walking to get the mail. And then to find out it is all ads and catalogs. Now is the season for catalogs by the dozen. A letter would be most welcome instead of all the junk mail.

Mail

Went to the mailbox to get the mail and the mailman hadn't been there yet. Drove thru the bank drive thru and drove thru the Post Office and mailed letters. It is very cold yet. Was -20 this morning and is 6 degrees now.
