We got 5 inches of snow here (near Keene, NH), but it ended overnight. Beautiful sun this morning. My chickens are SO NOT IMPRESSED with the snow! LOL They will NOT walk in it, so they are staying inside the coop today. I shoveled the run, but there is still a thin layer of snow. I put up Chrsitmas lights on the eave of my coop, but i need a short extension cord to reach the outlet. Hope to post pics later.
Yesterday during the storm, a car careened off the road into my front yard. Took out the mail box post and all, paper box, AND my prized ornamental Brandywine Flowering Crabapple tree that has double pink flowers every spring.
I'm upset about losing the tree, it is broken so bad, torn right off it's roots. But the driver says his insurance does cover property damage. And thankfully, not people were hurt. The car is still stuck in the yard, will need a tow truck to pull it out. He's hung up on stumps, rocks, etc that were part of my landscaping. There will be work to do in the spring to fix everything back up.
Meanwhile, my prized tree is dead, and i will have to drive to the PO weekdays to get my mail, cuz they won't deliver without a proper mail box out by the road. ugh! Just crazy!
