Another snowstorm yesterday into last night...and this morning the view from my kitchen window is straight-up 'Game of Thrones'.
Looking out the sliding door...
HEY CHICKENS, HAVIN' A GOOD TIME, OUT THERE?
The rest of the yard looks like the World's Worst BBQ/Beach party.
Venturing outside, seven inches of snow overnight. The icicle crop has gone all Icicle Armageddon.
The kitchen window from the outside.
The big one has nearly made it to the ground.
Out in the chicken yard, the kid has been busy making snowmen.
Cthulhu on the left, a nod to Calvin & Hobbes on the right. The one on the right ripping it's own head off still needs a face, she had to come in to warm up a bit first.
A snowCthulhu...*wipes away a proud tear*
OK, I'll go shovel the patio and walk...wait--where the #@&* is the snow shovel?!
Ah. OK, so I need a snow shovel to unearth the snow shovel.
*sigh...*

Today's Hellmouth Offerings!
Two projects still underway, one nearing completion and that's the den painting. Last wall!
Before:
Ignore the pistachio green around the wall outlet, that was a horribly failed color choice which I will not use, yikes.
The heavy duty repair job I had to do where some addlepated person had attempted (and failed, by the looks of things) to hang heavy 70's shelves.
Today was just wall sanding/washing, tomorrow will be the start of painting weather permitting.
Other project is just getting underway, the removal of about 20 juniper bushes in the back yard, all of which have been in place since the 70's and are horribly overgrown. Today's chainsawing gave us this:
A truly gigantic brush pile that the kid and I moved into the very back of the yard for removal another day.
After! I can see the chicken coop, yay!
Today's juniper offerings, a metal fence post, a chunk of angle iron and a full tube of sunscreen, plus two small dog toy-type balls.
Also, this!
It's the base of ONE of the plants and is as tall as my kid.
It was chanting "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", whatever that means.
We tossed Cthulhu on the burn pile with the rest of his buddies, screw him.
