March 29, 2011 still cold

We had gentle snow all day yesterday but nothing on the ground.   Thank goodness the ice is melting and green grass is finally showing though, there is still snow where the ground is shaded.  Squirrels are chasing each other in the trees and hiding nuts, rabbits are gathering and the sounds of birds are everywhere.

Tally is sanding the drywall and I should be texturing tomorrow or even this afternoon.  The ordinance amendment we are working on is progressing.   These things take a lot of time but are all worth it in the end.    Short post.

March- is Spring coming to Happy Trails?

The days are longer and with the addition of more snow it actually feels like spring.  Water is running off the roofs and the ice bergs are slowly receding.  It seems so slow this year.  I know it will be soon that we are turning on water in cabins and beginning the deep spring cleaning.  I love when the cabins are freshly deep cleaned.  It is so satisfying.  I love our job.

On to the construction project.  I now have an insulated kitchen/dining area.  The house became so cosy and nice.  I realize there is a lot to do but just the fact of being warmer has made life wonderful.  We have also been experiencing some great Black Hills inversions.   Rapid City has been so cold and overcast while we in Silver City have been in the 40's with nice sunny days.
