We woke up to 43 degrees at 6am and the high temperature briefly hit 86 degrees this afternoon. A difference of 43 degrees (as if you could not do the math yourself - but it sounds so weird just to say it).Of course, with the warmer weather and temperature difference, we are being told to prepare for a stormy night.
It is time to write out our big "chores" for the rest of the spring, into summer and then fall. A lot of that will be cleaning up what remains of the debris from the January-February ice storm. While we did manage to get quite a bit down to the roadside before they came through and chipped it (and now we have a humungous amount of chipped wood we can use), there is still a lot to do - get out the chain saw and cut the trees and branches into manageable sizes, then get it stacked, and either chip or burn what is not worth keeping.
In the chore list will certainly be fixing the fence around the garden in the hopes of keeping out the raccoons. Not sure what all else will be on the list. Some things are indoor maintenance and repair.
Oh, well, at least working from home allows one the ability to gaze out the windows and watch the beautiful weather go by.
