3:42 pm - 40 degrees - raining...
Yesterday we had a break from
the wind and rain. It was in the mid-40s, that’s winter t-shirt weather up here; basically it was the perfect day to spend outside and do a little
outside spring cleaning.
We still have patches of snow here and there, but the majority of it has melted away. So yesterday I started to rake all the small
rocks that were tossed into the yard from the snow blower back onto the
driveway. One bad side effect of using
the snow blower on a gravel road are all the rocks that are tossed up to 16+
feet into the yard. There are so many
little rocks in the yard that unfortunately it doesn’t even look like I did
anything there yesterday.
We also spent a good portion of
the day picking up and burning most of the fallen and broken tree branches from
around our main driveway. Tony walked
around with a pole saw cutting off the broken branches from the trees. He got a little side tracked and started
limbing the trees up, so we had quite a pile of branches and twigs to burn.
The kids decided to take a
break from all the yardwork to sneak in some bow and arrow practice.
By the end of the day, everyone
was tired as we sat around our bonfire to roast some hot dogs and marshmallows.
All in all, it was a good productive day.
