    Good news/bad news on the search for the mailbox. Bad news: Couldn't find it. Good news: No bills today! lol

    I'm frozen. Made a huge pot of veggie soup yesterday, going to eat some of that to get warmed up again. It's up to 6F though so there's a good start.
    Yes, windows are the next step if you can't get out.

    LOL! That's always a good thing! We've had that happen before, too. "Where the hell did the mailbox go?!"

    Woohoo! It's above 0°F! That's a step in the right direction!

    LOL! One time last year I found it in the woods behind the big snow berm. Its post was snapped in half... snow plow hit it. I waded back there, dug it out, and jammed it in the snow berm. The next day the county road guy came out and replaced the post.

    LOL! Hopefully, it's in the same place so that you can stick it into the snowbank again. Ours usually ended up in the snowbank down the road, frozen into the snow berm that they create. Here, if they knock over your mailbox, you're on your own. Nice, eh?

    Time for a non-snow post.... finally.

    When we bought this house in 2016 it had a bit of landscaping, nothing remarkable. The former owners weren't outdoor/garden people. This year I'm looking to expand the few perennial beds and add some native flowers/herbs/shrubs/grasses. Herbs I got but I need some help with the flowers/shrubs/grasses. They need to be deer resistant, and hardy down to zones 4/5. All suggestions welcome! Thanks in advance.

    Thought I'd share this pic I took this morning at dawn. The view is looking due East. The arrow marks where the sun rose only two weeks ago. In the North you can really get a feel of the Sun's progression from north to south and back again as the seasons change. It's a lot more discernible than it is further South. We are gaining ~3.5 mins. of daylight per day now.

    Gorgeous! The sun has moved a lot here, too. It is now shining in the kitchen window in the mornings now. It's staying lighter later, too. Now, if we could just get some spring weather to go with it! LOL!

    I think it's on the way! Supposed to get up into the 40s for at least a few days here this week. We'll send it your way! Do you still have a lot of snow/ice on the ground? We've still got 3-4 feet on the ground here. It's gonna be an epic mud season.

    It's coming, and quickly, too! We only have about a foot of snow on the ground. It's still going to be an epic mud season, though. Yuck!

    Thank you! We need warmer weather! LOL! It was gorgeous yesterday. I got a lot of ice up from the driveway. It's supposed to get into the upper 30s today, so I will be able to finish it all up.
