We had some snow

[jesse_the_k]

The warnings were dire, but so far we've only had 4-5 inches on the ground. The snow is very heavy and wet and it's barely freezing. That's good news on the street, where it rapidly melts. It's sad news in the backyard, where thick snow brought down three branches on our oldest pine tree, which blocked the street behind our house. Thank heavens for neighbors with chainsaws.

Earlier in the day, MyGuy and Bella went exploring on the bike path. It's a tunnel of white: snow covers the path itself, all the vegetation on the sides, and weighs down the branches of the trees and bushes. Since our black mutt Bella is certain there's something exciting just ahead, her leash is stretching forward into the future.

Yikes indeed! Are you municipal enough to have plows, or do you need to contract with someone to connect you to the roads?

I live in town so we have plows, but my driveway is absurdly long, so I have snow guys to come and plow that and do the walks. Pricey, but worth it, especially right now when I have covid.

Oh noes!

So sorry to hear the Rona snagged you.

I hope your brain rolls back up to full strength soon. Be kind to yourself and convalesce.

(I tried M-W's Blossom game for the first time this morning and could see exactly one word. Partly it's the psych drugs, partly it's age, and partly it's younger me who refused to take the time to rest when she got a terrible virus back in the 80s.)
