Winter Hostage

Mar 9
Old Man Winter has me under house arrest.
The doors are blocked with snow, the driveway has been erased from view and hope for an early parole buried under wind blown snow drifts. County officials have co-operated by sealing off the foot of the driveway and ‘removing’ the mailbox. My only hope is to tunnel out. When I hit Albuquerque I’m taking a right.
I’m packing some photos to remind me of warmer days.
Now this would make a much more pleasant ‘cell’
Someone who knows where to find a good hideout
Nothing like a cooking out on the patio.

Good luck with your tunneling,I thought it was left at Albuquerque and take the route 40 to Flagstaff.

Tunnel past my place so I can go with you! There is a brand new desperation in our quest for escape…isn’t there?

How fun! And what beautiful pictures. Is that your garden? We’ve still got four feet of snow easily and no mailbox to worry about the plows hitting!

My map is slightly different, head toward PA and keep going south, none of this west-direction…
Love the photos — makes more sense that my winter ones but then, folks in the south like to see the south — imagine? Idiots!!

whoops, folks in the south like to see the snow, not the south, sure can tell I’ve been stuck inside, eh?

Your post is a kick. Love the Photoshop Looney Toons folk. Keep the faith. Spring will spring. And thanks for posting your comments at my Garden Wise Guy blog. Appreciated!

After the last week I’ll be surprised if I am snow free by June 1st. Why does winter seem longer this year?

The gardens are lovely! I would trade my desert garden for something lush like in the first photo. I guess you pay for that great look by having bad winters! I assume the gardens are ones you deal with. Do you help design them?

Too late - not only you, WiseAcre, but all your photos have already gone completely Looney! If you pass Austin on your way West, be sure to stop and say Howdy!

Ehhhh, time to head south, Wiseacre. Did anyone say Spring Fling?
