My family loves cross country skiing and we’ve been enjoying it since mid-December but there are a few things we’re looking forward to seeing again this spring. The snow sled. The kids left it outside after last Wednesday’s storm. They think it was left it by the hill but Saturday afternoon they couldn’t find it after searching for an hour. The road. Saturday we went cross country skiing around our neighborhood loop – on the street – because the plow trucks have done such a poor job of plowing after these last few storms. It was easier on the ‘groomed’ street than cutting tracks in the backyard. The mailbox. It required a pickaxe and an hour of work on Saturday afternoon to dig it out enough to get mail delivery today. The truck. We can’t see the ‘hobby truck’ (the truck under constant repair by Fino) anymore so that’s off the table for repairs until spring (which doesn’t break my heart I have to admit; he has time for other projects in the house now). The chicken coop and backyard. We need to use the path to the chicken coop to get into the back yard. Not so easy to scale those banks with cross country skiis we discovered yesterday. The garden fence. This was taken after last Wednesday’s storm and could barely see the fence posts; Saturday’s snowfall covered them completely and the old stalks. The garden fence and sunflowers in the summer. Our spring will be full of reunions. How about you?
