"The winter of Our Discontent"--W.S.

2-17-14 SHORT HILLS: Since my last post, we have had more snow, done more shoveling and still flounder around the back yard in knee-deep snow, wishing for snowshoes. [In NJ!] The driveway is narrowed to one twisted, hard to negotiate lane. A lot of the local streets are down to one lane, and that lane is pock marked with potholes. The house is covered with snow and icicles hang from the gutters.

I saw a robin in the driveway yesterday. He flew into a holly tree and juniper bushes. I hope he finds enough berries to eat. Robins never go to the feeders, but everyone else is there all day.


That thing on top of the gutter is the sensor for the sprinkler system.

Have a seat.
