The dreaded backyard snow melt has started
« on: February 07, 2016, 03:35:27 PM »
Ok, only those of you who have large breed dogs (in my case more than one) with winter snow cover on the grass will understand. A price those of us pay for having bird dogs. Garbage bag must have weighed 50 pounds today. And I thought I had been doing a good job of "keeping up" this winter. Sorry, I  couldn't resist doing at least one crappy post.

On the wet side it just dissolves as winter rains along.  :chuckle:

If it's any consolation, I've been out in the yard in my t-shirt off and on the last 2 days  8)

I probably have 2 more months before we can begin to do spring pick up.  Thank God for the front end loader. On a related subject, did you know a snow blower can blow more than just snow!

Yeah I'm gonna need to mow the lawn soon.  :chuckle:

Got it done today, cleaned up all the limbs, mole hills, filled in the dog dug holes, mowed all he lawn and it looks awesome, some of the areas was already 3-5 inches high. Had to have been 60 degrees here today, warmest day of the year, even hotter tomorrow.  :chuckle:
