Monday 3/7. I measured 2-1/2" of new snow this morning that we had received overnight. Light, fluffy snow that the wind spent the day blowing off the trees and creating white-outs.
Sandy called and we had a nice, long chat. She has been basking in sun and mid-70 temps, while it's still winter Up Here.
JB baked lemon-blueberry muffins with my fresh lemon zest and juice. So yummy! But he probably should not have been on his feet that long.
While petting Dinga today, I discovered the first tick of the season attached to her under her collar. Unlike Jesse, she loves to go into the bushes. With the temps we have been experiencing, like today's 40, they are coming out.
The girls took the day off and didn't give us any eggs.
Tuesday 3/8. It was 28 with a light overcast this morning, light enough for the sun to shine through. It remained a mainly overcast but bright day, with the panels sucking in a lot of power.
Since it was quite cold during the night, the snow was very firm today and easy to walk on. The dogs love that and so do I.
With all the rain in the forecast for the next few days, I probably should have gone Down There today for grocery shopping. I may not be able to get down for another week if we really do get as much rain as predicted, as the road will be so muddy.
I noticed that the well is filling the cistern without the pump in the past 24 hours. Pretty sure it is coming up from the well and not a leak, as it looks as clean as ever.
It was a busy day for me, but I am making JB stay off his feet as the swelling from his toe has moved to his ankle and is quite painful. I inventoried all the long-term-storage food in cans. A daunting project that really should have been done when I moved most of it from under to bed to the closet. Did some more spring cleaning/sorting and all the daily chores.
The girls gave us just one egg, so they are not working nearly as hard as I am. However, they do like that the snow is finally melting in the uncovered part of their run.
We watched the last two episodes of Downton Abbey this evening. So sad that it is over, but it was the perfect ending. However, now I just want to binge-watch it from the beginning. . .
Wednesday 3/9. It is 30 and overcast this morning with heavy rain in the forecast for later today and tomorrow.
Thought for the day: Anybody who wants the Presidency so much that he'll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office. David Broder
