Crumbly Acres walk

 The driveway snowcover melted, I went out. It's cracking where the ground has absorbed water, expanded, and frozen. It is discouraging. We had it totally redone in July, 2021.

I think the woodpecker has been at this tree. Each chip, whittled off the tree, has an insect hole. I think the tree is an elm that is dead or dying. Sigh. We'll have to get people in to take it down and split the wood.

  

I am so happy to virtually visit people like tzgarden who remind me of the promise of summer! We all need some hope.

I had to do the driveway again on Sunday.  It was the 4 cm of snow. With the ice that formed on top. 

It just slid out of the auger feed! 

The bane of our rural existence, the mounds the snowplows leave! I think I got it this time.

I usually wave to the snow plow drivers, despite this. I barely caught a photo of the bright red truck. It looked more like snow removal. That's a problem for towns and cities. 

In the way back to the house, the deer were ignoring me and the loud snowblower! I kept away, not getting too close. Until I did! There is some ice under it. It's not great for walking. We shall see what this week brings. More snow today, methinks.
