Crumbly Acres is thawing

Jordan and Aster are on a university tour. Jo goes to university next year, Aster has a few years left. That said, Caitlin was on a girls' night, while Papa took the kids to a pub for dinner.

🪛And what is old Gramma getting up to? I was trying to fix the cold air intake for the furnace. The screws aren't holding any more. I saw a hack on TV. You either insert a golf tee or toothpicks into the hole. It gives the screws something to grip. I remembered to leave the battery charging. The drill was good. The stool helped, although I had issues getting up. If you know you know.


Crumbly Acres, we have a problem. The idea was good, but the rough edged frame is falling apart. I may need a shim of some sort.

As are the deermice. It keeps the cats busy for hours watching them.


Poor Guinivere! With a high of 9℃ today, our eaves are full of melt water, which freezes overnight. 

I could put on my snowshoes and rescue my flags...


Somebody in my house has to switch our our red ribbons for green, for March. I'm not sure I have the will or the energy to clamber through this snow.



We'll see what today brings. I've scoured the camera, because when I put garbage out Monday morning, I spotted coyote tracks along the driveway. I could not find it.

You still have so much snow!
I don't seem to be able to post a comment here when you have a video included but I do read your posts every day.

Ugh, I'm having the same issue with the vent in my upstairs bathroom. The cover is just leaning on the wall now. It's BEHIND the toilet so not easy to get at.

Let me just say again, you are amazing.
