Okay, so I ripped off the Beatles, but it's true. The snow is melting. Finally. My neighbours that put their Christmass trees out between December 31 and January 5 can now how them taken away. The lovely firs are no longer hidden under 5 feet of white ice and dirt. That means the trash (wo)men can do the pickup either this week or next. Lucky for me, we didn't have a tree. My only thing to put out is the branches that fell from the dogwood in the yard. Sweet!
As of right now, I don't have any "recent" pictures, except for February 4th, when I went out to shovel a walk from the side of the driveway to my back yard, so we can get oil delivered. Lemme tell you, that was an adventure. It took me a total of 6 hours and 2 days. Three hours into the first day, I'm like "I can't go on; I've only done 20 feet and it's dark out!" It was. I was shovelling snow that was waist height in some places and had to go at least 60 feet to the back of the house. Yes, it's not alot, but when it's all frozen, thick, and nasty, it takes a while. I had to use a metal garden rake, a metal shovel, and an ice chipper to properly get a normal shovel width's path. Hence it taking so long. Was not fun. But in the end, when we got oil delivered, the guy couldn't thank us enough. He said that no one has done something as elaborate as this, and it's really appreciated because alot of people hadn't even listened to their queries about doing something. Too bad we didn't get a discount....
Well, I shall post another update soon. But the heater is calling me; it may look nice outside, but my office is still feeling below zero with the heater on high.
Cheers,
