And More Snow! February 26th, 2013 Fairway, Kansas

Snow on every branch led to many branches and limbs breaking in the neighborhood.

The last snow storm was an “event” so what do you call it’s encore just 5 days later?  In Kansas and Missouri (Missouri was declared a disaster area) we were again pummeled with about 10 inches snow.  This one was harder to measure since Bob started shoveling at 4:30 in the morning, shoveled again before noon and then shoveled for the third time when it seemed be almost done snowing.  It did snow another 1-2 inches overnight.  This time the snow was very wet and stuck to everything like a thick frosting.

During the storm; we shoveled three times.  The snow was a very dense, wet and heavy snow.DSCN0507 DSCN0503 DSCN0513 DSCN0516 DSCN0519 DSCN0520After the storm I tried to get a few pictures to capture how much snow we really had on the ground…DSCN0525 DSCN0529 DSCN0534 DSCN0538 DSCN0541 DSCN0542 DSCN0545 DSCN0547 DSCN0552 DSCN0553Behind our house a tree was uprooted, toppled over taking a power pole with it.   It caused Mission Road to be closed and  and knocked out power out for hundreds of homes in Fairway.  We were lucky, this time, we did not lose our power. (Usually, it is just the opposite, we are first to lose power and last to be restored.) We did hear the transformer “blow” when we were out shoveling.

Report of power pole going down on Mission Road right behind our house.  We were lucky this time.

Fairway had a contest for most creative snow fort.  Here are a few creations around Fairway:

This was our neighbor, it was right across the street.

Visiting dear friends…

February 16, 2013 by shelley

Some of our best activities was visiting with dear friends.  We visited with Marsha O’Connor and her daughter Claire O’Connor Battle and husband.  Jen and Claire talked about old times and growing up together.  We got together at Fairway Park so the kids could play.

Is it spring?

January 31, 2012 by shelley

Just to make sure I remember today, January 31,2012….we will never have another January 31st where it seems more like May than January. Today was definitely more like a spring day than a winter one.  The temperature reached 67 degrees. My daffodils are starting to come up.  I think we are going to have an early spring!!  I hope all my  flowers aren’t in for a shock.
