The snow melted and it warmed up enough on Saturday to mow the lawn one last time. You know you've waited too long when you need mitts like these to mow the grass. (BTW, if you aren't from the Iron Range in Minnesota you might not know these are what one properly calls "choppers". I don't know why they are called choppers, I just know that is what they call them. Mine are hand-made from Moose hide by a guy in Ely.)
We had the first real snowfall of the year on the 15th. I think I should have mowed my grass one last time this year, but it looks like I missed my window of oppourtunity. I wish I could say I cared and make it sound believable. We'll see if I have to pay for this laziness in the spring.
I can always fool myself that winter isn't quite here yet, right up until the snow and sleet starting coming down. Now the truth is inescapable.
The usual walk around Langton Lake today was rather chilly. Most of my friends wimped out since it was too blustery. It's time for me to get my act together and get a real winter coat.
It was so cold last night the pond out back was covered in ice this morning. I hope this current cold snap is not a hint at how cold the rest of winter will be.
