This was supposed to be the year of the ice rink . . .


Plan B!

You see, with the absurd amount of rain we got in December I spent a good bit of time sloshing around a flooded area in our woods, prepping for the cold of January and February in hopes of having a "rink" to skate on. And yes, those boots were two sizes to small for me (but they were better than the size 3 waders that I tried to shove myself into...yeah "these waders", and I only got about three soakers).

I donned a mismatched pair of rubber gloves and hauled out logs and small branches. Then I got a rake to pull out loads of leaves and muck. Finally I broke out the dollar store butterfly net to bring the project home.
(Man, I crack myself up)
(So funny, I just noticed on my link above I also cracked myself up, I need to socialize more often!)

Yep, I spent a good few hours over a couple days skimming off miscellaneous debris.
(Remember, anything to avoid cleaning the bathroom)
AND
(I'm quite sure my neighbors think I'm NUTS!!!)

And now...January 26th...
IT WON'T STOP RAINING!!!
