Getting ready for the Big Snow


The Vipr HD Weather Center Radar Thingie went off on the television Saturday to warn us about an impending snowstorm. The city usually comes to collect leaves if you pile them up at the curb (which was amazing to watch- they had small front loader type machines and blocked off the road and it was quite efficient and graceful) but the last time they were scheduled to come we got sidelined by a snowstorm, so even though the previous snow had melted, the street crews hadn't been out to collect. And since the new storm was to be quite big, PJ decided to go out and rake the leaves closer to the curb. (I had been the one to collect the leaves via rake and blower, but due to time constraints with the kids napping only a little bit and it getting dark before 5 p.m. and all it wasn't as far out or together as it should have been.) So Ava donned her new coat and the hat I crocheted and went out with Dad and while he chatted with a neighbor, she put herself right to work. What a big girl!
