Two days ago I threw a tantrum about how "this season better get itself in order and bring me some
DAMN snow
fast because I've had it up to
here with this spring weather!!!" Imagine, if you will, me sitting on our couch pounding my fists into the cushion and then folding my arms acrossed my chest like a 5 year old. I've been looking forward to a whopper of a winter storm since we were done with harvest in early November. There's just something so
terribly romantic about being cooped up in a farmhouse out in the country when a big storm hits with the wind howling at the windows and near zero visibility. Last winter we had whiteout conditions for the first time in my fairly recent memory and it was just so darn cool. Of course, its only so awesome because we don't have to drive off our farm to get to work everyday so it doesn't matter to us if the roads are open or not.

Home is located smack-dab in the middle, at the bottom of the "h" & "i"
of Chicago |
So..tomorrow morning Chris & I fly out of Chicago to the mile-high city (Denver, of course) for a few days. And, wouldn't you know it, tomorrow afternoon, what the Weather Channel is labeling a
"BIG Snow Event" is scooting itself right on into the Midwest,
WHICH WE WILL NOT BE IN!
To say that I am disappointed would be an understatement.
So, to all my midwest pals out there, have fun watching 4-6" of the white stuff accumulate. I hope you all get a day off of work and get to sit at home wrapped up in a blanket slurping down hot cocoa and cuddling. I'll be green with envy from afar, probably not wearing a winter coat and getting sunburned in Denver where the forecast predicts the temps to be in the 50's.
I'll be back next week with tales from our Denver/National Western Stock Show adventures :)
