Digging out from under the big snow...

Woke up to some buried trees this morning.

Started brushing back the snow around six and didn’t quit until ten. Had to take out the tall step ladder and the extension brushes to make the headway I wanted, and walked away with bent limbs but almost no damage.

The neighbor’s tree in back landed on our roof, but it’s gonna take days to figure out how much, if not all, of the tree will need to be taken down. Bummer, because it shaded a significant part of our back patio.

Went off to the movies with K, and killed the middle of the afternoon with a nice show and a box of popcorn. When we came out, most of the residual snow in the treetops had fallen, and the sky was blue and sunny.

Made a pot of soup when we got home. Gonna have a nice simple dinner tonight and, with any luck, an easy night’s sleep.

Tile guy’s nearly finished. Still has a good day’s work ahead, but not enough to keep us from calling the plumber and having the fixtures installed. Fingers crossed it all comes together before mid-next week.
