Oh, wily March. Yesterday you gave us snow. Today, we get freezing rain. There is nothing quite like that tick, tick, tick of freezing rain as it hits the house. Here are what the steps looked like this morning when I returned from a hair appointment in town.
Here is a close-up. You can bet I used extreme caution going up and down the stairs.
And just so the backyard doesn’t feel left out, here’s a picture of our woebegone patio.
Never mind! Clif has a fire going in the wood furnace, so all is cozy at the little house in the big woods. Tonight is going to be treat night with chips and dip, frozen pizza, and a fun movie—we haven’t settled on which one yet.
So take that March and freezing rain!
Notes From the Hinterland 
March in Maine loves giving gifts like these!! April will be here soon!! 🙂
Shannon, April is right around the corner. A very special month for our family 😉
I see you got your patio set out – I like your optimism! Hang in there, warmer days are a-coming!
Yes, yes!
That looks treacherous to walk on. I wouldn’t have gone out in that weather but I guess Mainers are hardy folks At home movies with a fire sounds more inviting.
We are hardy, but a sensible person would have stayed home 😉

I think we have the same patio chairs as you. Still coated in ice, too.
We love those chairs. We’ve had them for 16 years and they are holding up very well. We’ve decided to pick up a couple of more so that when we have gatherings, no one has to sit on the tippy plastic chairs.
We had the same yesterday. And, my chairs, table, and grill that I got out when we were enjoy the 60’s-70’s were covered as well. 🙂
The snow is mostly gone! We actually had tea on the patio yesterday even though there is teensy weensy bit of snow in the backyard. Spring is coming in its fitful northern New England way.
Living well is the best revenge.
You got it!
