What a Difference a Week Makes! /Weekend Projects
FROM 26F to 62F IN SEVEN DAYS!
One week ago it was in the 20s and we had snow! The wind chills were in the single numbers and it was truly wintry. The dogs didn't even like being outside for more than a couple of minutes.
Today, Saturday, February 7th, a WARM FRONT finally got through, breaking the arctic hold of cold air that we've had since November 1st (because of La Nina, that dirty little girl). Anyway, we took advantage of the 62F sunshine!!
This past week (in the cold) we had a tree removed from the backyard, that was too close to the enclosed porch we built. So, Tom removed the wood chips and distributed them in the backyard, taking a little time to toss sticks to Dolly (the Weimaraner) while Franklin the dachshund went to look for leftover bird seed that fell from the feeder. I also tossed a rope to Dolly outside, and enjoyed the sunshine. We even took time out to meet our friends Jason and Kevin at Chik-fil-A nearby, which was fun.
Our day started in the 7am hour as usual. We got the new stairway carpet runner (from England!) and Tom installed it while I did the laundry, mopped the floor and made the bed. The stairs look fantastic! By 4pm, we needed a nap that we didn't get!
