Yard work

As I write this, on Monday morning, it is pouring rain. I mean pouring! It is about 34F so the good news is that it is a warm stream of moisture, hence rain. If it was snow, it would be wet, heavy and no fun at all…not that the pouring rain is fun, but it doesn’t need to be shoveled.

Yesterday, though, was mostly pleasant.

It has been above freezing for 4 days and nights so the ice situation improves daily and my sidewalk is completely clear of ice. New thing this year is that I cleared significantly on both sides of the walk so there was somewhere for the snowmelt to go and I would have a chance to get the walk cleared. The other reason was to allow me room to back the Jeep up to the front porch and make loading/unloading easier without the death defying walk on ice carrying groceries. Win-Win!

By early afternoon, it was nice enough that I decided to do a bit of yard cleanup. The amount and size of the downfall from the big melt after the big snow was an unsightly mess.

The area of the yard and Beardog point that we all enjoy is suddenly much nicer…

A little sun and blue sky didn’t hurt our enjoyment, either!

da Sun, da Sun!

Yesterday (Sunday) and today, it was not only 44-45F, it was sunny!

The snow has shrunk, it is drippy and slushy but the sun was so nice.

We’ve been out in the woods, but it is still hard for Bear and I so Beardog Point is a favorite spot to hang with the chairs and enjoy the sun.

Just relaxin’…

…in the sunshine…

Ah… the Sun!
