Yesterday, about a third of our yard was snow-free -- the glaciers had officially begun to retreat! -- along with all driveways, sidewalks, and roads. This is the picture this morning, after Mick shoveled 5-6 inches of snow last night and an additional 10 this morning!
So much for our snow-free yard.
Gerard thought he wanted to go exploring, but that didn't last long.
This weekend's storm was reminiscent of the storm last weekend, which dropped 6 inches after a week of beginning-to-melt.
We are tiring of snow, but Roscoe loved it!
He's a lot less courageous about braving the cold when he's indoors though.
We (the humans, that is) have been taking advantage of the last stretches of cold weather to clear out the freezers, particularly the foods that we figured we won't particularly care to eat in the summer, like venison backstrap (thanks, Nick!), which Mickey cooked to perfection!
Now that I have your mouth watering, meet the newest members of our family! They arrived last week in a box from Pennsylvania.
2000 red worms!
We have put them to work as vermicomposters. So far they seem very happy -- we have only found one escape attempt (which, fortunately, Mickey discovered and not me!!) :-)
Cheers!
