YEA!! Let the spring cleanup begin.

I started yesterday with raking. I also move my picnic table and lawn chairs into place. I have plenty to keep me outside now. :)

Most of the snow is gone. Yay! It reached 57 here today. I turned off the heat and left my front door open... just because!

Is it safe to put away the shovel and take down my driveway markers?

I have markers along the street to protect the front lawn. I took them down three weeks ago and had to put them back up for the storm two weeks ago and took them down again after that storm.

Winter is officially over when the snowblower is put to bed for the summer...that will happen this week!! YEA!! Let the spring cleanup begin.

Our plow guy took down all our driveway markers for us. They were cut at the ground level and held up by the snow. Now that the snow is melted the markers are laying on the ground. That $35 plow really cost us an extra $20 in markers! :(

Driveway is clear and I feel like a schmuck for shoveling part of it.

A few more boxes of twigs for the fireplace.

Reminds when went I went to visit a buddy in Colorado. We went up into the mountains in shorts and t-shirts and there was snow everywhere. If I remember right it was like 65 or so. That's the place to be!
