February 2006 vs 2007


The above pictures are of my yard, taken a few days ago, in the early days of February 2007.

Remembering that this time last year we had no snow, I looked back in my 2006 Day Planner and these are some of the entries:

Feb. 5: Yard work: cleaned up broken fish tanks and other stuff from beside chicken run and put into utility trailer to take to the dump. Pulled a bunch of weeds and dug up a fair bit of ground, taking out as much quack grass as possible, just below the manure pit. Felt really good to do this.

Feb. 6: Yard: got some more digging done, but not as much as yesterday.

Feb. 9: dug up more yard while talking on the phone. Beautiful, sunny day to play in the dirt. (It was +6 C and sunny that day. Today is cloudy and currently +6 C, the snow is melting).

And the entries go on like this. February 2007 is very different than February 2006 was.

I've had those kind of ideas too, Claire. It's called hibernation. Yawn... "Ah, wake me up about a quarter to spring". lol.

It's actually finally warming up around here, so the snow is melting and it's starting to feel like it soon will be spring, so I guess it's about time for me to wake up.
