Snow done & melting!!
Quick note...we ended up with about 4" - 5". It's mostly melted now, but is was a surprise - no forecast of it happening. So, I'm back at work and wishing I still was on vacation ;-)

It's still snowing
DH is safe at home (with groceries!!) We now have 2" on the ground & it's still snowing. According to weather.com it's supposed to turn to rain around 10:00 PM - we'll see.
It's 33F, dark and
Snowing!! I'm waiting for DH to get home safely from taking DS home to his bio-mom.
On that note....after a two week vacation, I'm going back to work tomorrow :( I have so enjoyed being home and getting caught up on various tasks.
Well, just needed to talk about the weather to get it off my mind. Hope you are all safe & warm tonight.

Huh? part two
I thank CleanScapes for posting a comment about their service...it was nice to hear from them & I really do appreciate their customer service.
Can you feel the 'but' coming?
Yup, here it is. We put out our garbage container & our recycling container Friday night. Then I decided to trust what they said to do and I gathered up a lot of extra recycling, put them into paper grocery bags and found a large box (our new computer came it in, so I know it would be sturdy) to hold it all. I had five grocery bags of cans, glass & plastic and one large plastic cat litter container on top of it all. The contents were not hidden, and I had my son write 'Recycle' on the box.
Along about 11:30 AM or so on Saturday I hear the welcome noise of the garbage truck (they always come first & then the recycling truck comes by later). I am having a pajama day, reading & scrapping, so I am not dressed. I peek out the window and watch in dismay as the big box of recycling is thrown into the back of the garbage truck followed by the emptying of our garbage container. The driver had run the compactor before I could get my housecoat on & tell them to pull it back out.
I am very upset with what they did. They did not pay any attention to what they were doing...sure, they were in a hurry because a lot of people needed their garbage picked up. I can understand that, but the box was clearly labeled Recycle....so my question to CleanScapes is...
What else was I supposed to do?
