Wow...
and wow again!
Ahhhh...
A big bucket on the bucket list has just been achieved...
Can't really believe it is true, but it is I guess, as I'm here, now and living in it.
It is snowing in my yard.
In my wildest dreams, I never imagined this to be so exhilarating.
I'm fair done in...can't gather my emotions...
My feet are freezing...
I have no adequate heating in the house...
Have to tramp to the loo in the elements...because the ground froze solid just a day before the septic trenches were completed...hahaha...but I am sooo very happy...I can ascend all those minor details because one of my deepest wishes/dreams has come true.
My eyes are leaking badly at the moment, but it is all happy leaks...
Hey, that;s a good title for a website...Happy Leaks.
Anyways...I have achieved one of my deepest dreams and am so childlike happy, it is almost a sin.
I can not tell you or even do I know why this is so deliciously awesome to me...but it is!
Snow...
In my own backyard...
Why?
Who cares...it is awesome..Loving it.
Amazing.
A deep desire has come into being and I am amazed at the power of pursuit and tenacity.
Even though I did not realize I was wanting this so much, it still happened!
Not much else to say...but...
If you really want something, you must be prepared to sacrifice your comfort zone for it...such as
Inside amenities,
A nice home,
A set routine,
A stable circle of friends...
and much more...
If you really do want something...
You must be prepared to abandon every thing you accept as the norm to achieve it.
No more...
No less.
Today was a major achievement on many fronts.
Who would have thought a few years ago, that lil' ole' me, a gran on the way down in her latter years after a massive GFC disaster, would be achieving anything...let alone fulfilling some life time dreams...and in Europe of all places, to top it all off!
Too overwhelmed with joy just now to say much more...
So here's the pics to compliment and supplement my case!
Ohhh and with all the excitement I forgot to mention that the postie lady hailed me down at the bus stop yesterday morning, on my way to town to buy a big gas heater.
She had a registered letter for me!
Yes, my biometric resident visa card arrived right at the start of the year.
It wasn't snowing in the morning yesterday, but at about 2.30pm on the way home in the cab, heater and all...it began snowing and within an hour, the place was white...at my place too...awesome hey?
Admiring the neighbour's 4 boys sporting medals...all for soccer. Amazing. Put a coloured pic up first, as that's about all the colour around at the moment. |
There it is! Hope you can read it... |
Before going to bed last night. |
Dog is fascinated with the snow and runs all over the big paddock when I let her out into the half acre. |
One hour after it began snowing... |
Too exciting for words... |
2 hrs after it began snowing... |
Wow, it is beautiful... |
The cars driving very cautiously... |
This morning it was still there! |
The flash went off on this one and captured some snowflakes in flight as it began lightly snowing again this morning. |
Dog footprints all over the place...hahaha... |
The road was looking pretty skiddy to me! There's a flock of birds flying over too, if you notice near the wires on the telegraph poles.. |
Looks so cute to me! |
That's all I have...am feeling very blessed indeed, even though I've worn out my DVD player...
Have to play Hogan in the DVD slot in my computer, which isn't as much fun as using the little DVD player...but at least it is something.
Would just play directly from the internet on Youtube, but with such bad to no internet...again today, that is not an option.
In the next few months I'll look at getting "cable"??? or whatever for the TV Pommie shows that Peter, son, has at his place. I love those Real Estate shows from over there.
Bye...
