Yeah…. That will teach me to mock Mother Nature. Or, maybe not. I seem to be a slow learner.
Last night, it started doing this. Those aren't speckles on the camera lense because I was standing under the roof overhang.
The Serviceberry blossoms are probably used to such nonsense.
It was a good thing we had covered up the construction materials which were delivered yesterday. They would have been very soaked.
It kept this up all night, and this morning we had snow sliding off the roofs. It didn't accumulate except on the roof.
This morning Dan found a poor frozen hummingbird laying on the sidewalk. This sort of weather is very tough on the small animals, especially something as tiny as a hummingbird. Lots did make it through the night and we’ve already had to refill a feeder or two so far today.
The sidewalk follows the ground contour down near the garage, curving around one of the two large trees between the house and the garage.
Where the yard flattens out there is a fork in the road.
Straight ahead leads to the new sunroom door, and a low deck off the door where the wood rack will sit.
Curving around to the right is the front door.
The sidewalk leads to the newly constructed concrete front porch. Hurray, no more untreated wood boards just waiting to break someday, and no place for a packrat to hide under the porch. And no place for a snowshoe hare to hide either. Poor little things.
Large beams are under the floor joists to support the weight. We are going to have marble tiles for the flooring, travertine actually is what the type of marble is called, and it doesn't like floors that flex.
Inside the house we have a happy parrot.
She doesn't mind having her picture taken while she's in her bath. Sucn an exhibitionist!
It appears that Mishkin has decided to revise his ‘catch and release’ program. He caught a mouse overnight and it didn’t get far at all before he killed it. Good kitty!!! He’s been keeping a beady eye on the contractors today. He sits by the bottom of the stairs and growls at them. They left in the middle of the day, for a while, to go pick up different floor joists as they had ordered the wrong size. Math – any one?
After they leave, Mish runs around the house, making circles and just delighted they are gone. So am I, to tell the truth.
Looks like Terry’s happy to just splash around–to heck with construction stuff!! Hahahaha.
