Melting and repairs

| 0 Comments

The big warm up as started! Yeah

We had temps in the low 30's with a warm sun shining most of the afternoon. Which helped start the melting process, and tonight we are barely going to get below freezing, with a chance of rain later tonight and tomorrow morning.

I arrived home to a muddy driveway and a flow of water going through the yard, and the bare spots growing larger along the pine trees and in the yard where the snow was plowed off.

I took time to play fetch with Smarkle, who became all wet running through the puddles, and the water flying off her feet as she raced after the ball. With the ground exposed, her stride makes a lot more noise and she was having fun running on the bare spots, instead of the icy driveway and yard.

I did have to do a little repair on one of the rain gutters on our back deck, the wind and snow off the roof, had pushed one piece apart. I needed match up the seams and then re-nail it and I put a few extra screws through the metal into the fascia on the house. Should be good to go...

Also cleaned out all the pine needles that had filled it up over the late fall and winter.
