Hello,
Leroy and I just got back inside after shoveling again for about an hour. We had decided to try to widen the path down the drive especially as there is more snow possible in the next three days. With a strong south wind my cheeks got quite cold, but I did not realize how much until I came in the house and felt them hurting. Mission is accomplished and several million snowflakes have been moved. Yesterday Leroy commented, “Where are our children when we need them?”
Safe from working for us on the snow is where they are. We are grateful for all of the shoveling they did when they were home. It certainly helped and now we know how much it helped. We are also grateful for the grain/scoop shovels that my dad gave us when he left the farm. They have been used to move these piles of snow. It was possible to haul a big load with them.
According to the paper we got between 15 and 19 inches of snow in Burlington. It must make a difference where it was measured.
This morning our temperature was all the way up to zero so we walked. I think it might have been more comfortable yesterday at -10 since there was little or no wind yesterday.
Last night we were eating when we heard a noise outside. We looked out and saw one of the curtains on the floor. They are held with tension rods and apparently one of the rods had had too much cold to handle. We tried to put it back up today, but no luck.
The robin flock is back. I tried to take some pictures, but it was through the screen and the window so they are not the best, but it gives you an idea of how many there were. The last picture of them shows the berries/cherries or whatever they want from the tree.
