Hump Day

I had lots to write about today. But the lack of caffeine this morning, has rendered my mind into a heap of fluff.

It was warm enough yesterday that the sun melted a lot of the ice that built up. Well, except for the back walkway. I spent an hour outside chipping away at it.. and that of my neighbours. It's what we do for each other. Makes snow removal more enjoyable, when you share the chore with someone else! (well, especially when they don't live with you!!!)

The girls spent the whole time outside as well. They tried to make snow angels and because there isn't much snow, but ice, they got distracted quite easily. They then decided to run on the ice.. Our backlane seems to have a section of ice in the middle of the road... the water drains down to a drainage hole, some ways down.. but this patch of ice kept them busy for some time. I was a bit worried, heads hit ice hard. But they seemed fine. My youngest seem to detest falling on her butt.. she prefers the whole body fall. Which could come in handy... you should learn to fall with your whole body, as opposed to just parts of your body. Drop and roll. Drop and roll.

It was a good hour outside. Good, fresh air. Rosy cheeks.

We have ice rain heading our way. It's supposed to mix with "rain" and then some "snow." We don't expect much accumulation, if any. It's warm out too!

I just hope whatever happens, it melts the ice on the walkway in the backyard. Otherwise, I will have to put up guardrails to keep people from falling and breaking a hip or something.

Keep safe.
