And all of a sudden, blowing snow, wind and panic set in!The whole patio was covered in snow. Fearing complete isolation, I fashioned a long brush to clear the satellite dish so I felt less alone.And as the snow melted, it caused an ice cornice to build up on the shed and the house.The metal roof plus snow, makes for a waterfall over the gutters. I had to add heat tape to melt the ice so it would simply drain into the gutters.My vintage windmill was blown over in the storm, bending the blades.A casualty of the Bomb Cyclone! I’ll try to bend the blades back in shape again.But just look at what happens after we get all the needed moisture!Hidden bulbs are finding their way through the weed barrier and Breeze material, searching for the spring sunshine! Although I wasn’t looking for these to pop up right here, I can’t find it in myself to pull them up!I’ve added some Cobalt Blue planters near the front door and some of my pots already have established perennial Day Lillie’s coming in!Yay! Spring is so very welcome after a long winter.Small, I know! But I can’t help but be pleased to see some Green reappear after 6 months of drab winter!This time of year, we’re ready to lose the sweaters and boots. But it takes a few days in the privacy of your yard to get enough sun to show any skin in public.I moved the outdoor chairs to maximize the sunny part of each day in the back yard. Rocco is grateful to lay in the sun too!
Hi! Life after my career has begun and I invite you to join me for adventures in retirement!

What a great way to maximize the weather event and connect it to your new yard and house upgrades. Surprise bulbs in the front. Who knew!! Enjoy whatever sun and warmer temps come around.
