Spring Snowstorm, and a Visit from the Easter....???

It doesn't look much like spring around here! We have had lots of wet sticky snow this week, and it looks more like Christmas than Easter. We had a snow day from school on Tuesday since the plows didn't go out in the morning. Most of that snow was gone by noon, but then we got blasted again on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully, it's done soon because we leave early Monday morning for some skiing in Red Lodge, Montana, and we want dry roads so we can make the trip in one day. The way it looks right now, we could stay home and ski right here at good old Welch Village.
Happy Easter!




When Chuck came home from work on Tuesday night, he surprised this ugly critter in our garage. We've decided there must be way too much snow for the Easter bunny, so this possum is filling in. We had to roll him out the garage door with a rake. I tried to get a picture of the process, but I was laughing way too hard as Chuck did the dirty work with a garden rake and my friend Kathy backed him up with a hoe.
Chuck wanted to shoot the thing, but he probably would have ended up shooting himself from ricocheting bullets! Guess we have to keep the garage door closed during the day.

That really beats our little critter who tunneled into the basement last year - by about 10 times as big! Of course, our critter practically ran across my foot down in the basement while I was on the computer. Lucky your friend didn't get inside the house!!! You should give him a name - you may have a friend for life:)

Possum just creep me out. They look like oversized mice. Eech!

I heard that one of our neighbors became "the terminator" and got rid of a possum with a shovel the other day. Hopefully, it is again safe to leave our garage door open!
