I haven't posted for a while, so thought it time to catch folks up on what we have been doing, which is nothing much.  Our weather continues on the cold side with daytime highs only reaching into the low 30's. With piles of snow still surrounding the house, we are still stuck inside the majority of the time.  However, the snow is slowly melting which is really a blessing as it helps with the flood situation to the west of us.  Our driveway and road were completely clear and dry but then we had about an inch of new snow yesterday which led to mud.  This afternoon things have pretty much dried up again.

Snow piles are slowly moving back and we can see more

lawn everyday

 

This is the snow pile John was standing on a week

ago and could reach the top of the basketball 

back board.  Now snow is well below the net.

John kept busy last week making a new table for our daughter-in-law, Sara.  She has been busy sprucing up their home for graduation.  This table is to have a glass top for displaying deer antlers .It  is still waiting to be stained.

 

After about a week and a half, I finally shook off my cold and started feeling better.  Since we are stuck inside, John and I decided it would be a good time to clean out and re-organize our storage closet.  That led to doing the basement and garage.  Since John has a heated shop now, we decided to remove the old work bench from the house garage and put in some more shelving.  We still have a little more sorting to do, but hope to have this job done by the end of this week.  

We have been out and about a little for doctor appointments--I got an injection for my hip and John had his pre-op physical on Monday.  He also received three immunizations at that time and has been suffering with a very sore arm.  These immunizations are to help bolster his immune system and prepare his body for the removal of his spleen.  We are now pretty much in a holding pattern until his surgery April 23rd.

The weather is suppose to warm up this weekend with the possibility of rain.  Hopefully the snow will go on the west side of the house so we can finally reach our pickup truck and four-wheeler.  With all our cleaning up we need to make a run to the landfill.
