Mapping out the Spring projects.
I’d be delighted if I could get half of the stuff done I need to do out in the yard and in the house. Once the ground thaws I’ll need to begin to fill in the pond, level and grade the yard away from the house, and start building raised beds.
I will put down a rather large patio area to keep the dogs and The Curmudgeon from tracking in mud all the time. I want raised beds to make it easier to enjoy my gardening. All I need left in grass is an area big enough to play a rousing game of Bocce.
I will miss our pond but it is time to move on and make things easier for ourselves.
Inside the house, I need to get moving on painting the entire interior. Ah yes, now all I need find is the energy to do all of this or volunteers to help me.
Come on March!
Whoohoo, we hit 44 degrees today! A few more days of this, and we might actually be able to see some of my taller garden plants. 😀
Friday we’re supposed to go as high as 49 degrees and Saturday we should top out at 52. If only it will stay that way for a while. Unfortunately, February will end on low temperatures in the 20’s.
Please March hurry and grace us with your warmth, green beer, and ugh my birthday.
I have two skelemingoes, this is the only one you can see. I wonder how many days until both are fully visible again. Any guesses?
Has anyone seen Spring? Please send her our way.
Overnight 4 more inches of snow arrived. Forecast for Wednesday is rain and ice. Do we look as though we need more crap?
You have to be EFFING kidding me!
Our street finally gets cleared when we get this notice:

Yes, another ‘weather’ post.
They didn’t get our street cleared of snow yesterday, instead they changed the no parking this street signs to today. We’ll see what happens. I for one would not be unhappy to wake to the noise of snowplows on our street.
We’ve sort of kept count and there have been over 20 cars stuck in the snow and ice out front over the last few days. If you don’t have to, don’t drive down our street! <Giggle> I even canceled my dentist appointment because the street is THAT bad.
Listening to another car spinning its tires out front. Really? You haven’t heard how bad this street is?
Before the last storm…
More snow…
Is there no end to this insanity?!! More storms heading our way over the next couple of days!
Yay, Terrier group!
I may miss one or two of the groups but NEVER the terrier group. Nice to see a couple of familiar faces in there too.
Hats off to Mary Remer and Margery Goode. Good to see you out there Ladies.
Terriers, the clowns of the dog world. Got to love them!
Congrats to Sky the wire fox terrier on the win.
Me with Joey our second Bull Terrier.
Another Westminster…
I watched the first four groups last night. I don’t get fired up until the second night and the Terrier group though.
You better believe I will be cheering the Bull Terriers on again this year. I’d always wanted to be there if only to show in the breed. Malcolm would’ve loved it, but Gavin, not so much. He hates shows, crowds of people, and noise.

Malcolm, Veteran’s class…
Gavin, his third show …all he wanted to do was get the hell out of there…one of the few times his ear stayed up.
More snow…shoot me now.
You notice I don’t complain about the weather when it is warm. This is because I find winter miserable. and I actually enjoy warm weather.
A tropical beach paradise would be ideal for me, but not for The Curmudgeon. Damned shame that MS patients do not do well in the heat…and yet he keeps the furnace cranking all winter at melt down levels.
I think this calls for another chocolate martini…
