Snowstick Contest Winners 2018

We finally have a couple of winners!  diane in northern wisc guessed April 18 and The Wykeham Observer guessed April 29. Congratulations!! diane please email captainconnie2001atyahoodotcom  your address and I will get a carving in the mail this week. The Wykeham Observer your carving is going to the Post Office today.

 

The snowstick became free of snow and ice last night April 22.

June may be gone soon if the warm weather stays to melt her.

I picked up sticks in the yard and raked a bunch of acorns they were making for a bumpy walk in parts of the yard.  I am always thankful in the spring for the hours I spend in the yard in the fall.

Melting

We had some significant melting yesterday. 

After we recycled we went by the Millpond.

It still looks wintery there.

The snowstick made some real progress yesterday.  I think it is at about 3 inches.

We will most likely have a winner in a few days if the melt keeps up.  It felt good to sit outside, but the breeze off the snow is still a bit chilly.

We cleaned up some bird seed and some doggie do…Far Guy got out the patio table which needs a good cleaning and the birds are looking for water in the birdbath…both are on my list of things to do today.

Saturday

I hit my head whilst cleaning…hurt so bad I couldn’t even mutter bad word bad word.  We bought a new area rug for under the dining room table…and the tile floor needed to be scrubbed…just a bit of spring cleaning.   The rug is a bit small…I may look for another and put this one in the living room.  Tile floors are a bit more cozy when there is a rug on the floor.

Chance and I went outside late in the afternoon.  There is still eleven inches of snow at the snowstick.  The snowstorm missed us…it must have gone south of us.  Tomorrow another snowstorm may come in…maybe that one will miss us too.

2018 Your best guess
Here is the snowstick as of yesterday morning.

The snow is getting deeper…we shoveled…Chance nearly got stuck in the snow.  However it looks like we will be warming up a bit…if it rains the snow could be gone just like that.

We had a quiet snowy weekend.  Far Guy is woodcarving a little, I am working on various hobbies.  I seem to have a very short attention span lately so I work on one project and then go onto another.

Oh yes the winner will likely get a small woodcarving of some kind.  The Snowstick Contest 2018 will be open for guesses until Thursday March 1st at 9PM.  The winner will be declared when there is no snow or ice at the snowstick.
