The Scent of Change – #1LinerWeds

I love the look of fresh snow on bare trees.

If you participate in Linda G. Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday prompt, you may go through the week identifying candidates. I collected quite a few this week. There were several at the dentist’s office while I was getting my teeth cleaned. The dentist will be closed beginning tomorrow for 2-3 weeks. There was one during the Facebook exchange with one of the bartenders from the (real) bar that I go to on Saturdays. She is now out of work until further notice. There was the final exchange with my dentist, when he asked me about my next stop. If I had had my teeth cleaned last week, I would had mentioned going for breakfast at my favorite diner. That diner closed Monday at 8:00pm.

You know the story. This week stinks.

On the other hand, this week has been good for my project. Despite having to endure some brisk weather on Monday, I was able to finish repositioning the fence along the largest side of our yard. Unfortunately, in the course of completing that project, I had to move leaves out of the way of my ladder. I had to cut little vines out of the way. I had to prune a few branches that had grown through the fence and were pulling it down. That doesn’t sound like a bad thing. Does it? I guess it depends on who you ask.

Maddie, the Irish Setter who knows the scent of every square inch of this yard, was not impressed.

This post is part of Linda G. Hill’s fun weekly series One-Liner Wednesday. If you have a one-liner, I’d encourage you to join in on the fun. You can follow this link to participate and to see the one-liners from the other participants.

It snowed (a little) overnight. Not much, bt enough to boost our spirits.

This was going to be the theme of my photos, slightly green, until they became white.

The fence fix is complete. This is how it’s supposed to look – slightly over the top.

“It snowed!”

We haven’t had snow in almost 10 weeks.

Sorry, not sorry, I’m including all these snow shots.

I was going to show these trees to show how they are starting to turn green.

The fence looks good with the snow.

I love the look of fresh snow on bare trees.

Snoopy is in there. She showed up about three weeks ago. I hope she brought her shovel.

Snow buds.

“Hey dad, do you have any peanuts? This little mom looks hungry.”

“This is all wrong. This smells ALL WRONG!”

“What happened here? These leaves have moved.”

I think Maddie is ready for baseball. I haven’t had the heart to tell her that opening day has been postponed.
