The End of Snowy Days

As it warms up, the snow is melting away. This photo is from Christmas Eve, when it was still freezing cold and snowing. I had gone out to shovel our deck, afraid that the weight of the snow and ice upon it might be too stressful. And it was! For me. I stopped shoveling after a half hour and only managed to clear a small strip around our grill.

Today it's mostly melted into a sad shadow of its former glory. I haven't taken photos of it yet. Mostly, I've been hanging out with Chris and Dan. Phil's gone back to his dad's so he could get to his work (although there's a good chance he'll come back up tomorrow).

And late tomorrow night, Chris' girlfriend Sonya will arrive. They'll be chillin' with us, literally. We found that the guest room where Chris has been sleeping has practically no insulation whatsoever. Merely hanging a blanket over the window increased the temperature remarkably. Today we bought some plastic sheeting stuff to cover the window. Instead of a room that's about 40 degrees, Chris and Sonya will have a balmy 50 degree room.

Yay?
