I woke up to a foot of snow. Now,<br> snow is a part of life here in North Idaho,<br> but we were experiencing a gradual thaw and our total snow-pack had been reduced from the depth that I call **hip busting agony** down to the more manageable level of **thigh crushing torment**. Well,<br> howdy,<br> we be bustin hips again round here!\n\nI wouldn't have minded all the new snow had I been able to stay home and enjoy looking at it from the picture window in my living room. However,<br> I get to open the library for the community one Saturday a month,<br> plus my daughter had a basketball game and team pictures. Usually this would not be a big deal either,<br> but you know what makes it a big deal? **The Great Influx**. We have a ton of new people in our area that haven't seen one of our *\"normal\"* winters yet. These poor creatures either think that because they have AWD that they can cruise through 12 inches of snow on the road at 60mph with no problems,<br> or they have to drive so slow that a cat named Molasses would beat them to town. Add them to the locals that get impatient at the folks who drive a little too slow for the conditions and you get a road rage\/distracted driving\/all out traveling snowpocalypse for all to enjoy.\n\nhttp:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/IMG_4351f770f.jpg\n\nIt's all good now though,<br> as I am lounging next to a blissfully warm fire with my laptop and Big Kitty as my companions,<br> Steeming away like a boss. There are always things to be grateful for,<br> and my wood stove is one of them. So is the fact that I ordered all of my garden seeds yesterday,<br> or that after I finish this I am going to head over to @son-of-satire 's excellent blog and read all of the entries to the [Fifty-Word Fiction Frenzy contest (https:\/\/steemit.com\/steemit\/@son-of-satire\/fifty-word-fiction-frenzy-a-community-collaboration-round-six) and vote for my favorite!\n\nWith that,<br> and because I believe in providing something worthy enough to be called content in all my blog posts,<br> I leave you with a recipe for what I am sipping on this evening:\n\n> Lemon Limeade-A Sugar Free,<br> Quick and Easy Concoction\n> \n> 8 Cups of water\n> 1 large or 2 small lemons\n> 1 lime \n> 1\/4 tsp of stevia\n> \n> Squeeze the juice from your citrus,<br> add it and the Stevia to your water in whatever vessel that you deem worthy to hold your refreshing citrus libation. Whisk it until it is thoroughly amalgamated,<br> and enjoy!\n> \n> \n>\n\nhttp:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/IMG_2050533fe.jpg\n*The refreshing beverage that I am currently sipping makes me think of this place,<br> its image resurrecting powers are that impressive!*\n\nAnd as always,<br> all of the images in this post were taken by the author on my lemon juice disinfected iPhone.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"paleo\",<br>\"recipe\",<br>\"food\",<br>\"life\",<br>\"writing\" ,<br>\"users\":[\"son-of-satire\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"http:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/IMG_4349d8bf2.jpg\",<br>\"http:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/IMG_4351f770f.jpg\",<br>\"http:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/IMG_2050533fe.jpg\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/steemit.com\/steemit\/@son-of-satire\/fifty-word-fiction-frenzy-a-community-collaboration-round-six\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " | | vote | "voter":"generikat",
