This morning was the first time I heard the robins sing. Granted it was only for a few minutes, the temperature was in the low teens and yesterday was punctuated with snow squalls. But it was unmistakable and a sure sign that warmer days will be here soon. The snow has melted back to the point where I should be able to pull the Lund out of its winter parking spot and take it for the annual checkup. I am hoping that by the time it is finished there will be some open water to use it in.
This week’s project is a new roof on the front of the garage. It has been a great reminder that I am not as young as I used to be. I am sore from climbing ladders and stiff from handling bundles of shingles. When I am finished the roof should be good for another twenty years; of course it will be no fun at all when I am in my seventies!
The event was a huge success again last Saturday. Lots of kids on the ice, a few fish caught, lots of hot dogs and mooseburgers eaten and plenty of volunteers to make it all run smoothly. We always get excellent suppor tfrom the local press.You can read about it and see lots of great pictures in today’s Village Soup.
