Freeze Damage

The builder came by today to work on the freeze damage to the house. The concrete pad by the basement door was lifted up about 2 inches by the hard freeze this winter and caused damage to the door frame. The entire frame has to be replaced. It was a good day for them to do work. The temps were in the low 40s and the ground is still frozen. We were home from school for

the second day due to a good 3 inches of solid ice on most of the secondary roads that made busing unsafe. It is currently in the low 30s with freezing rain and more wind. We will see what they will do tomorrow. Most of the snow has blown away or melted off our backyard. Our neighbors yard however, still has solid snow. It was nice to get outside for awhile and despite the wind it felt strangely warm. I guess it is over 70 degrees warmer than it was two weeks ago.

My good friend, Amber, tagged me to post a picture from the fourth folder on my computer so that is why there is a random photograph of the boys babysitter, Josie. That folder is filled with Josie's senior pics so naturally I now tag Antoinette (Josie's mom).
