Took a little 'Stroll'... this morning, to check out
'The Weather'.
; )
<3
Our 'Ditch'... used to be where this Road... is now.
{Stallman Drive}
That ditch... held a Bunch.
As did the Ditch... on the West side of 151...
as they Both...
used to...
before
IDOT's Fairfax, Iowa... Bike Trail 'Accommodations'.
Didn't walk to the North side of our property...
{West Cemetery Road and 151}
but...
could see a pretty big Wall of plowed Snow.
I'll check it out... after Justin Plows.
: )
Doubt it's gonna be melting, anytime soon.
; )
IDOT Plowed the shoulder... but, again...
when they come in... another 15, to 20 feet... and plow Fairfax's Bike Trail,
oh dear.
'Basin'...
'Buried'...
'Avalanche'
oh...my.
Oh dear.
Was Grateful... for the Awesome Wool Coat, from Pal, Jan...
So Incredibly WARM!!
The Vintage Fur Collar...
<3
and...
17 inch tall... Buckaroo Boots.
: )
{wore the Red ones... figured if I got Buried....someone might be able to Spot Them... stickin' out of The Snow!! : ) }
Crappy picture... but, I was a little Chilled, after my 'Stroll'... this mornin'.
; )
The Snow was up to the top of my boots, in places.
; )
The Wind.... was 'Brisk'.
; )
about 20 below zero... windchill in Fairfax, Iowa... they say.
; )
Thought about getting Justin's Snow Plow out of the shop this morning...
dig out the drive....
then, thought better of it.
I'd surely break something!!
A hose... or, screw up the blade.
: )
Nobody Know's How to Plow with That Buggy of His, Better than Justin!!
I get such a Kick out of watching him Plow!!
; )
Have no plans of going anywhere... anyway.
: )
Was going through documents, yesterday.
Oh My.
Went back to 2017, and 2018.
WOW!!
just...
WOW!!
Life... is Truly about The Journey.
When it comes time to write that 'Book'...
It's going to be Unbelievable.
My memory... was Sure Refreshed, while going through those mountains of documents.
I'd forgotten So Much.
{There's SO MUCH... to 'recall'}
oh dear.
So Many...
Incredible
BLESSINGS!!
What a Ride.
What an Incredible...
Insane...
Ride.
; )
There needs to be a Roller Coaster named after 'this' 'Ride'!
: )
It'd Scare The Hell outta Many!!
: ) : ) : )
but...
that's not what 'Struck' me, while digging through the last 7 years...
what Truly... Struck me, were The BLESSINGS.
So Many.... Blessings,
often...
in Spite of my
'stubbornness'.
: )
It was pretty plain to see... 'THIS' is, and has always been,
Totally...
Out of my hands.
but...
'This'...
is...
and
has
Always...
Been,
In Some Very Great Hands.
: )
Glad I took a stroll.... through the 'Years', yesterday.
'The Journey'.
: )
Hope Folks Stay In...
Stay Safe...
Protect the Critters...
and,
again...
So Grateful...
to The Snow Plow Drivers.
They Know How to Gitter Done,
in
Iowa.
<3
Prayers for All.

As I keep 'Strollin', today...
we mustn't forget how Important...
Ditches, 'Drainage' is.
before.
I'm gonna start diggin', because... I believe, we need to find images from 'before' IDOT's 1990's Condemnation of our land.
Ya see, sadly... this isn't our first 'Condemnation', by The Iowa Department of Transportation...
under the 'guise'...
in my opinion...
of
'Highway Maintenance and Road Improvement'.
Nor.. do I believe... 'we' have been the 'Only' ones.
I believe... we need to show images, from long before.
When IDOT Condemned our land... for '4 foot of shoulder', in the 1990's.
Show... what John bought, in 1979, and... show... what's left, because of
'Condemnation'.
'Highway Maintenance and Road Improvement'
'Big Blanket'...
in my opinion.
A Big Blanket...
that few...
question.
Ditches...
'Drainage'...
Is
Important.
: )
So Is...
The
Truth.
I'll be sure and wear my Buckaroo Boots, while diggin'.
Have a feeling, it's gonna get Deep.
Much Deeper, than The Iowa Blizzard... today.
oh...
dear.
<3
