What a Winter Wonderland!
What a morning! To wake up & see nothing but a sea of white everywhere. And just to think a week ago we were thinking of starting our springtime chores. (Personally, I'm glad we didn't.) Unfortunately, we left the water on at the packing shed over the weekend, & this morning's temp was close to 18 degrees, with about 6" to 8" of snow on the ground. Oh well! So much for all of the exposed pipes.
We have 2 boxers that haven't seen too much snow, & prefer not to. Taking them outside to do their business this morning was a true adventure. Daisy was going to go back inside & Chance was going to see this stuff (like a typical little boy), because he had to go anyway! And guess what happened to me, holding on to both leashes? I haven't felt that kind of stretch since I was in high school still in gym class. (And I'm in my 50's now.) Oh well.
I understand by the end of the week, we'll be back to normal. (At least normal for us.) We should reach back up into the 50's by this weekend. If that's true, then maybe we can begin to look at a few springtime chores, & get a little more pruning done.
