Our first snow

I knew the weather folks were right when I let Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle out to do some /ate/early business around 3:30 a.m. When I’d returned home to A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville from bowling last night, it was a rainy mess. But overnight it had turned cold. We have…

One more winter step for the pool

My thought process led to another step in the closing of the backyard pool in this first fall and coming winter in A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I purchased a bunch of the long, tall sticks that most folks use to mark their driveway lines for the plowing service, and a…
