Just a little puddle
Great sight out back. The big mound that made our backyard pool cover invisible melted down to a mere puddle in the middle of the stretched blue. Amazing how fast it went.
Get the drift
Piled high. So much snow this season, I thought on this long view of Onondaga Lake Park … Dirty job. The same pile from the other side carries the same point and a lot of grime as I make my way bad to my car parked by the library.
Not done yet
Even with the big construction project bringing new things to this portion of our Onondaga Lake Park, some customs remain the same. Lights on the Lake displays remain stacked together, awaiting either next November or another trip to the big storage area …
High expectations
Telltale truck. Down at the far end of the space that’s always been our Onondaga Lake Marina, I spied a construction truck that provided a big hint to what’s going on behind the fence. A new dock and seawall!, thought I. Can’t wait to see what the boats will have to tie up to come…
New digs at the marina
Something happening here. My recent stroll to my favorite Onondaga Lake Park allowed me a closer look behind the fence I noticed my last visit. Marina construction. The marina is under construction, I see. Heavy lifting. There were big posts going in. I walked further and watched …
Can I?
Getting stuck? It’s been below zero, real temperature, a handful of times in our part of the world this winter. Things get stuck in the morning. Worst was the outside door of our front alcove teamed with the lock latch on our side gate. I got us out two ways: moving a portable heater into…
Keeping it clear
Where to put it? So when it snows while I’m sleeping, I have to sweep what’s accumulated on our car somewhere before I take my dear wife Karen out to an early shift. And then I have to clear that so she can safely get in the car. Life has been something this year.
Sprout hunting
Not yet. When March comes in our part of the world, my dear wife Karen and I look for our first green sprouts in our gardens. This year I think they have a tougher path.
Hello down there
Please bounce back. In past winters, I’ve been able to bring you photos of rogue blooms from our front corner rose bush. This year, my dear wife Karen and I discuss whether or not it will bounce back from all this snow that had to go there. Insulation or oxygen stealer? Only spring and summer…
I don’t think it will melt quickly
Higher and higher. We keep getting more snow added to the big bank at the end of our driveway. As we move to March, I wonder about its staying power.
Good look in late February
Thank you, sunshine. That orange glow in our sky has been scarce this winter in our part of the world. I was happy to catch the orange spreading before it set to the west.
