This is Olive's little boy Aiden, we got to do some play time in the yard on Saturday afternoon.
Olive stopped by with fresh Eggs from her gals.
We had some rain and a lot of nice weather on Saturday. The daffodils even enjoyed it.
By chore time Sunday afternoon, they were not Happy Daffies.
The pine trees in front of the house were laden with ice and snow.
By Monday morning the snow was 5 inches deep at the bird feeder under the pines and knee deep on the hill behind the house.
The iris plants were partially buried.
I walked along some branches that were overhanging the hot wire they were drooping so I shook them and they rattled with ice. Some snow came off but not much.
I went in the house to do something and suddenly the mules were running and snorting. One of the large box elder sections of a tree came down where I had been.
I shut the gate to that area and decided I'd deal with that issue when things warmed up which it is supposed to do this week.
I might have to check in with a couple of my ridge neighbors to see if I can barter or trade for some chain saw work.
From the extended forecast of rain from Tuesday through Thursday, it looks like I might just have to take hand loppers and and see if I can get the stuff off the at least one fence.
Perhaps I'll just ignore it today and just have some tea with Miss LaFleur.
