18 feet of snow??? Where in the world are you? Surely you mean that you had that much all last winter. Even at that it seems like a lot of the stuff you have to shovel. Here in California we are drying up and now we are burning up. It seems there is no justice.
I'm Nan and my favorite sport is gardening.... after playing with the computer. It is lots of fun visiting with people from all over the country. When you feel like it why don't you tell us more about you. Now that the snow is melted... I hope it has... what do you do besides chase fires. Hey! We could use some help out here. We have over a thousand fires burning around the Northern part of California and although nothing is burning very close to me I am breathing some pretty ugly air these days. My husband and I have been gardening as little as possible because of the air. We are just too old to clog up our breathing passages. We have trouble enough when there is clean air.
