Melting Snow

Well after our few storms we ended up having almost 50 inches of snow. Needless to say it's not going anywhere quickly, however it is slowly starting to melt. Our parking spot which we never shoveled overly well in the first place is almost back to normal. I'm looking forward to the nice weather and spending some more outside.

We've had some nice weather getting into the mid 40s so that is good. I'm looking forward to doing some more stuff outside and the flowers to start growing. I planted tulips in a bucket outside of our house last year and they bloomed nicely. I then planted a tomato seedling (because I couldn't bring myself to throw it away) not expecting it to grow much and it went a little crazy so I'm not sure whether the tulips will bloom or not. Time will tell if they will bloom but the snow needs to melt first.

We are slowly starting to do a bit more around the house as well. Kelly moved out in January and we are in the process of turning the room she was in into a guest room. Jym pulled all the chair rail off and now just has to finish it up and put drywall up where there was a hole to the plumbing stuff that was just boarded up with wood before. We are then going to turn the "blue room" into one that's painted in a more neutral color. I've bought the primer but I just need him to finish his part so I can finish it up. It'll be nice to have an actual guest room although it will probably be a while before we put an actual bed in it. I suppose an airmattress will just have to do.

The goal would be to have it at least finish and primed (if not painted) by the time Sara and Tal come to visit in April. I would love to have it done for mid March although that doesn't leave us much time. We'll just have to see what we get done tomorrow.

And for curious minds here is a picture of the snow outside our house after the first storm.
