As you all know I have been working from home since April 2010. I am very grateful for the opportunity to keep my job that I had in Des Moines and do it from home in Avoca. However, one bad thing about working from home is not leaving. So, usually I would go in the evenings to the wellness center, grocery shopping, something to get out of the house.
However, with the amount of snow we've had I didn't get to leave the house for a WEEK...yes 1 week. I don't know who it tortured more, Brent or me. If I wanted to go somewhere I was going to have to drive the pickup. No Thank you.
One of the many changes we had to make when moving to the farm was snow removal. In Des Moines we didn't even have a snow blower. I did help once in awhile but Brent enjoyed shoveling (minus the blizzard storm). He enjoyed the work-out it gave him.
Well, with a lane way of gravel, on a hill, I don't think we'll be shoveling by hand. We get to use a tractor and a blade. I am sure its a lot warmer but not quite the exercise of shoveling by hand. I guess we do shovel the sidewalk but that is about it.
Here are a few pictures of Brent moving snow from our last storm!
Every other Wednesday night Brent plays poker with some guys. Of course tonight is the night it is at our house! I will be locking myself in our room tonight and I truthfully don't mind!!! I get to watch American Idol and I'm currently reading a great book called The Pact by Jodi Picoult! I highly recommend almost any of her books! So maybe I'll get that book finished I already have my next 3 books picked out!
