Bob went down to check on things.
Remember last week? We had to follow the deer trail up the road to the top of the driveway. Well, on Saturday, Bob discovered that the deer had followed OUR foot prints to the door and decided that the Holly looked delicious. He said they nibbled off ALL the leaves on that big bush!!! Hope it recovers in the spring! I'll try to get a picture next time.
All else was fine. Still a lot of snow. I'm ready to see the grass and blue skies again...

February 9th snow storm pix taken today

 Road NOT plowed: after several warm days, down to about a foot of snow from 2 and a half!

 We are following a deer path over the bridge: well traveled by the deer.

 Bob scraped off some of the snow from the roof and entry step.

Will this spring back in the Spring??

• Oil had been delivered evidently before the storm: the tank is 3/4 full!
• Inside the house all is fine: the power never went off.
• Oh New England winters!

Pictures from February 1st!

It is COLD today! After a few days in the 50s it is back to 32 degrees.

• Oil is just at 3/8ths
• I tried pulling the snake skin out and it broke off at the ceiling, so we won't know how long (is it Abercrombie the 15th?) he/she is.
• I refitted a down spout together on the front corner of the house.
• We had terrific wind yesterday when this cold front came through: there are a few small branches in the road, and several good sized ones fell off the swing maple tree onto the swing!
• Although we heard reports of lost power, it didn't go out here
•  After I left, I drove to the Haddam Neck cemetery to see the family graves and enjoy the quiet on top of the hill. Peaceful.
