WIND, RAIN and WHITE STUFF

Saturday night into yesterday it rained.  Which means woodland lake is back and will probably remain there until July unless I get lucky.  This photo below is to the left back of my property which goes up to the farm in the back.
With that rain came 70 mph winds, I knew they were high but didn't know how high until this evening's news.  Which means there were lots of limbs and branches in the yard.  Oh, and one dead tree toppled.  Glad it dropped behind my shed and not on top of it.
Today I spent over an hour picking up limbs, although there are still more left to pick up.  But concentrated on the front yard and inside the back yard near my birdfeeders.  Tomorrow I'll go out and pick up more limbs, gather up over 300 pine cones and if I'm not too tired will work on the felled tree and vines which held it up until yesterday's wind.

And if this wasn't torture enough, there is another snow storm to arrive Wednesday.  This morning the local weatherman said 6-10".  The evening news said 3-6" which is a better number but would rather have O" snow.

Temperatures (according to the weatherman) are 15* lower than normal for this area, which should be in the mid to upper 40's.  That means another fill of propane will need to be ordered this week as last check I was down to 39% and propane will be in constant use all the rest of the week.

Back to happy hooking on my rug with a glass of Cab; Monday's green salad is made and available when I'm ready.

  1. UGH on you getting more snow. Hope it is not that much. We are back in the deep freeze now. It was wickedly cold walking Tundra outside today, especially when the wind picked up. Janice

  2. I am so sick of winter…but I always am. Hopefully spring is on the horizon! But no relief for at least the next 10 days.
    You have had much more snow than we have had. Lucky you 😓

  4. Seems like winter is happening all over the place this year. We've had several good dumps of white stuff too but, unlike you, once ours comes, it stays. Too dang cold to melt or rain. We're under another extreme cold warning for tonight. I never thought I'd say it but, at this point, I don't care how long winter lasts because spring just brings more timelines, deadlines, and projects that have to be taken care of and I am so far behind I don't think I will ever come close to being caught up. Stay safe and cozy...and keep on hooking. ~Robin~

  5. I am Done with Winter too ! We have about 4" of Icy snow ! It is treacherous to walk on sidewalks & my driveway is a skating rink .It is freezing cold & the windy has been fierce ...our yard is covered with small branches , it is a mess ! It's really difficult to take our dog out to do his business . Salt is in high demand & sells out immediately . We threw our saw dust on the ice , most of it blew away , but where it stuck has helped. Come on Mother Nature we have had enough all across the country !!!
