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.
