A Friday drive.

Camp. Opening camp before summer.

Yesterday we took items to and returned items from camp.

Each winter camp is empty and alone. My non standard task yesterday was to lower the grade where the pump and expansion tank sits. As I connect the water I must crawl under a porch. With passing years the ground level moved up so the expansion tank needs more head room.  I hit frost at three inches so  I still need warmer temperatures to get the frost out of the ground.  Further digging must wait for another three to four weeks.
Check back then.

We walked; I walked!

On a clear day we circled Back Cove for a four mile stroll Sunday. Today I took the bus part way into town and walked four miles home.

Always just one

What is your list of just one?

We get one first day to take our first steps, for our first bicycle ride, and for other one only events.

Sunday middle 80s

After a very warm spring Sunday we have had mostly fifties.

Tuesday mild

A day in the seventies!

Brief but soothing mild air.

Tuesday temperatures were in the middle seventies here.  My three mile walk was a balm from winter brisk conditions.

Snow, rain and rain!

A week ago we received three quarters inch of liquid as eleven inches of snow. Following on Tuesday and Thursday was an additional two and one half inches of rain.

Snowbanks are smaller but still obstruct some of my walking paths. Will we actually see higher sixties on Tuesday?

Eight miles south 14 inch April snow

We had over ten inches of snow on April first.

Minneapolis 66F  while Maine had snow from 8PM Friday to 4PM Saturday.   An all day wet snow with substantial amounts in banks and car tops.

The good news I no longer need to move this heavy snow.
AMEN and AMEN

Snow now

Plowable snow since last night! Two more snow or rain events forecast in the next week.
