Montana Snow
The Christmas cards are done
They’re ready to be mailed
But we can’t leave our home
We’d surely be derailed
The winds were 40 mph gusts, and
The drifts have blown like crazy
I’ll have to ZOOM church tomorrow
And it’s not cuz I am lazy
I’d attend if I could get out
And after church I’d go
To the post office to mail the cards
But I can’t get through the snow
So we are at the mercy
Of a kind and helpful neighbor
When he comes with his bobcat blower
We’ll watch him work and thank him later
He’ll blow out the driveway
And clear a path for us
So we can get to church
Without shoveling and lots of fuss
But if you don’t see us
And if our card to you doesn’t come,
You might send out a sled team
To rescue us… we’re frozen and numb!
That’s our driveway that’s the culprit
The wind swirls the snow in piles
Inside between the rabbit brush
It blows in from many miles
That photo was a light snow
This time it’s at least two feet tall
After our neighbor plowed us out
The piles were a five foot wall!
We haven’t seen a winter like this
This storm has been a doozy
It started way too early this year –
The freezing wind makes me woozy
The Christmas cards are done
They’re ready to be mailed
But like I said, I’m stuck in here
Our Christmas travel might be curtailed
Try coming in through the drifts
I’ve some hot chocolate to share
But if you don’t make it here
Mr Snowman will be content floating there
Hope you’re having a happy December so far.
God bless you! Stay in touch.
Love ya,
JanBeek
Take a look at this photo I found!
That’s me – pregnant with our 1st child, Ty.
And that’s my sis and her hubby with my niece, Denise
and my mom and dad…
1964 Christmas …
Sweet memories!
