So, 2014 gave us record snow cover, with the attendant issues with our lane. We bought our place in a dry, cool November, when the 1/3 mile long driveway seemed like an appealing addition to getting away from it all. But, the season of snow, followed shortly by the season of mud, proves to be a yearly challenge! Sometimes we are heroes just getting to the paved road.
So, the snow was beautiful, a big distraction. Then, I messed up my knee and have been gimping around for a month and a half, trying to favor it, while having to walk our lane twice day for most of March...another distraction.
Then of course, trying to get the very expensive but not ready for prime time new software implemented at work, has been a drain on my energy and attention. And then there is adorable hubby, finishing up his Master's one 6 week intensive grad school class after another.
But, now, my knee is tender but clearly on the mend, finally. If I am careful where I step, I can walk the lane pain free. The lane is dry except for a couple spots where we seem to have spontaneous springs generating little puddles in the middle of a dry stretch. There seems to be some slight breakthroughs in the healthcare application front.
This lovely April Sunday, adorable hubby is finishing up our taxes, the ponies are nibbling fresh grass in the paddock we call S3, and the chickens are scratching around in the lawn. I have surveyed the bees, which didn't make it through the winter, so we will take a break from that project for a year and regroup. the bulbs are popping up everywhere, the vegie garden is calling to me - clean me up, plant some peas! So I guess I will get off this blog, and go do that.
