Jen, Mom (Ann), and I went to Thicut yesterday. Mom stayed in the car while Jen and I scoped out the house and yard. The snow was mostly gone and the daffodils are poking out of the ground. Snow predicted for today has arrived: Glastonbury had about 3 inches before the rain/sleet started and stopped and began again. More predicted for this evening. Will Spring ever get here???

• The oil tank reads just over 1/2 full.
• The pond must have thawed and refrozen. It has a thin layer of glassy ice.
• There are a LOT of pine branches on the sides of the driveway. The big pine (from Aunt Gina?) is really bedraggled now from weighty snow breaking its branches. The snow plow (we think it must have been the town) pushed them all to the sides of the road. It will take a bit of man/woman power to clean that up once the snow is gone.
• No evidence of mice or snakes inside on this visit!
• Jen watered the plants. They'd like a bit more sun I think. Enough of cloudy days!
