Melting Snow ~ Tom Thomson
Well, the weather is becoming very mild, but that brings new challenges. Our driveway for one. I guess there's a layer of ice underneath several inches of melting snow (read - slush). Trying to back up the gentle slope of the driveway presented a little challenge to my new vehicle which is just outfitted with summer tires in the rear (go figure!). I will feel a lot more confident when we have 4 new winter tires on there. Even though winter is almost over (hope, hope!) The stress level goes WAY DOWN when I know that I'm driving with good tires.
On the homestead front - mild weather means that I don't have to continually change the cat's water bowl so that's one less thing to do. My worms are working away - they are a pet that is easy to forget about. I feed them once a week. I've started keeping the food scraps in the freezer and defrost just before I add to the container. It was advice from somewhere. My MIL brought over 2 dozen eggs from the chickens on the farm. It's great - I get all the benefits of farm-fresh eggs without having to do any of the work. But I do miss the chickens and look forward to the day they come over here (sometime in the spring) |
