The temperature got well above freezing today, but it didn’t make much of a dent in the thick crust of ice in our back yard, driveway, or sidewalks. I’m afraid the thaw is only making matters worse because the melted snow will turn to ice.
I worked with the ice chipper to break a bath to the garage. Freddie, the friendly squirrel, rewarded me by coming over for some peanuts, which she’ll take from my hand. That made me smile.
You are so right about the melting covering everything with a new sheet of ice. Walking the girls to school is like walking on a skating rink. It is so scary, for me the old mom.

You realize, of course, she knows what you are doing for her. She appreciates it. Yes she expects it (of course) but she also appreciates it.
