Living in a Snow Globe World

.

We are living in a snow globe world over here in Central Wisconsin.

This snow is light, fluffy, and sparkly - just like that in a snow globe.
.
.

If I could, I would ship some of it to each and every one of you because EVERYONE should have the joy of experiencing a snow globe world for themselves.

But, since it won't ship and arrive in the same state of matter (double entendre intended), I'll do the next best thing and share some PICTURES of our snow globe world with you.
.
.

I took these pictures yesterday in my pj's.

Don't worry - - - I HID the pj's under a ski jacket and snow pants.

The OTHER issue I had to overcome to get some of these pictures was the snow was so deep it went RIGHT OVER THE TOPS of my boots.

But it was NOT so much of a hardship that I couldn't overcome it for YOU my dear bloggy readers.

Besides - - - there isn't much I like BETTER than getting out in a gorgeous snow globe world.

Well, maybe watching football - - - but I digress.

There's a pond someplace under that snow.
.
.

The Wisconsin River only freezes in the "quiet backwater" places - - -
.
. 

The main channel runs free all winter long, no matter how cold it gets.  If it gets so cold that the river freezes over, it is COLD.

COLD means colder than 20 (F) below.
.
.

There weren't any kids on the playground, not even any "echos" of my grans from last summer.
.
.

This bench was very lonely and there weren't any picnickers either.
.
. 

This is a "scale" image so you can tell about how tall my little decorative snowman sled is because - - -
.
.

Now I'm using it as a "gauge" to show how high the pile of snow is after shoveling the sidewalk.
.
.

If you are a regular here, you may remember THESE snow gauges (patio chair and free standing fire pit) that Fisherhubby LEFT OUT on purpose accidentally.

When our snow storm was "over" Friday, or so I thought, this is how deep the snow was.
.
.

But by midday Saturday, we had even more.

I can't tell you HOW MUCH we love this snow.  I wish you were all here to enjoy it with us and then come inside for a steaming cup of hot chocolate.

And now, before I go here is a little snow related story to give you a chuckle (I hope) to brighten your day.

Saturday morning Fisherhubby said he was going out to run errands.

I asked if he didn't think he should blow the snow (about 8 inches worth at that point) out of the driveway before he ran around.

"Nope, I'll do it when I get back,"  he said.

"Don't you think you should do it before you go in case someone tries to come over?"  I queried?

"NOBODY ever comes over, it won't matter,"  says he.

"The FedEx man came yesterday and he might come again today since TOMORROW is my birthday,"  I argued.

"THE FEDEX MAN DOESN'T WORK ON SATURDAY."   And away he went.
.
.

Oh my dear bloggy friends, he was barely out of sight when what to my wondering eyes should appear but THE FEDEX MAN bringing ME this birthday box!!!!

I KID YOU NOT!!!

I had really only been KIDDING about the FedEx man coming but he made a LIAR out of Fisherhubby anyway!!!

And I didn't even have to TRY to "get" him.

Hahahahahahaha - - - BEST birthday present EVER 'cause he "gets" ME all the time on PURPOSE!
