Oh for Pete’s sake. We did get snow. We did get dumped on to the tune of nine plus inches. The sun is definitely in our favor for this late season snowfall. Wherever I had pushed snow off of the concrete, the concrete is now bare. Our driveway won’t be quite that fortunate as the pile of snow on the south side will be thawing and there is nowhere for it to go but puddle on the concrete. During the next few nights, there will be some freeze drying.
An interesting event to watch out of our northwest house window. A small hawk has found it quite advantageous to sit next to the area of the yard where the sump pump spews forth water that has collected in the tile that encompasses the perimeter of our basement. Last week I thought that perhaps his foot had gotten caught in the grate that is over the opening of the tile. Not so. If his luck continues as I have witnessed, he will continue feasting on the unexpected birds that have enjoyed open water all winter. It is the circle of life. It reminds me that if one is patient enough, things come your way.
