Lucy, the snowless spots are on the southwest side of the house where wind blew drifts further on and also the shoveled path to fill the oil tank. Most of the yard is still 2 - 4 feet deep, depending where shoveling made huge mountains of snow.
I am grateful it isn't all melting at once. Plenty seeps in the cracks of the granite foundation and runs out the corner sump.
A good friend came to the house and went through my closet. She removed all the clothes that I will not be able to put over my head while my arms are being fixed and healing. Items are put where I can reach them while not moving my biceps from my side. I think I look like a penguin. It is funny when I kick a chair to the counter and climb up to get something with my shortened reach. It is just like my 3 year old friend has to do. Surgery is scheduled for April 30th. End July, you know I will be moving my right arm with my knee like I did last year to weed. Dunno how much the docs will want the right arm healed before we do the left.
For now, I have started many new houseplants. They are light and don't require digging. I hope to have a few hundred to sell. I certainly will be an odd penguin style massage therapist, so I had to do something. Guess it is a good time to finish school work and learn languages....no, not penguin. The good news is, anchoring biceps and rotator cuffs is generally extremely successful. I will get Bionic Garden Arms!
