It's the start of spring and it seemed like a good day to change the banner and look forward to warmer weather. We keep having more snow, and since we ran out of firewood a few days ago I'm getting a little nervous. Our propane tank is almost empty due to a gas leak in the water heater line that went undetected long enough to deplete our tank. Unfortunately we don't own our tank and the company that did own it got bought out by AmeriGas recently, and AmeriGas won't come out for at least 2 weeks, so I'm a little concerned we might run out entirely. I cut some scrub oak the other day but somehow managed to overheat my chainsaw in the process. The engine is fine but the plastic housing melted on the inside--a problem I did not discover until I tried to remove it to replace my dull chain. I managed to pry it off with a screwdriver but of course it wouldn't go back together so now I'm down a chainsaw and faced with as much as a month left of winter weather and almost no firewood. It's been a looong winter! I did not expect to start burning wood as early as October and still be burning every day in March. I've burned five trees since January. I'm a little bit ready for spring!
On the plus side, all this cold, wet wether has given us a bumper crop of grass! Little green spears are coming up everywhere! I sowed some seed around our yard before the last storm and I bought some more to fill in the rest of the bare patches left by last year's drought. Hopefully it will be a green summer!
