Cool Green Pool

Watercolour...8" X 10"

Another favorite spot for TwinB 'n me.  Moore Creek just around the corner from the falls.  I've always loved the small green pool created by currents rushing past rock jutting into the water.  Straight ahead and almost below the overhang of the cliff is a larger pool, ideal for cooling down (if not rendering one absolutely speechless from cold) on a hot August afternoon.

The First Week of Spring

All over town people have begun dismantling their snow piles; a few get a little over enthused with it.  Our neighbor beside us commented that we might need snowshoes due the ammount of snow back on the road.
My husband looked outside and noticed the young fellow across the street going at his pile with an ATV.  At first he thought the kid was high marking his snow pile but then it became more obvious that he was chewing at the edges.
And me?  I've decided that my snow can be flung around to the side of the house where it can slow down that stinking piece of lawn that always gets a jump on everything else. 
Finally - a good application for snow pile removal.

Robotic Rainbow

Ever seen one before??

I haven't but it sure made sense when this Kindergarten student informed that's what this is.

I'd really been wondering about some of the extra little lines he'd carefully inserted between the normal bands of colour. So there you have it; robotic rainbow.  Not sure if it has any extra functions.

And Piles To Go Before I Sleep ; )

 Conditions have rendered the sign above a tad redundant.

Aaaand here we find ourselves uttering the infamous 'don't touch the powerlines'. Admonitions not heard since the '70s.  We've only had 18&1/2 feet of snow this winter; the snowiest season I ever witnessed was 24 feet and the all time biggie in '72 totalled 40 feet. The difference is in having cooler days of sun rather than endless gray and ice cold rain following each snow.  The rain doesn't make the snow disappear though it does pack it down a bit.
