More Spring cleanup and Remote living.

Yesterday was a really beautiful day, warm and sunny so, I decided to start getting rid of the snow, as it was starting to make puddles of water everywhere.  What it looked like






Here are the results of my work

There was a lot of ice towards the bottom and had to use my chipper to break it up. As you can see, it got pretty warm

All the melting caused soft ground which means mud so, I had to put a pallet with a piece of plywood on it in front of my steps
 




I forgot, I started off with a breakfast I came up with. Fried egg, Portabello mushroom, horseradish sauce on homemade holey bread,LOL  Actually, it tasted good

I will continue working on moving the snow.

I wanted to continue about remote living. The first post was to give a general idea about living remote. There are pros and cons. The pros are a good part of living remote, and the cons? Well, it something you accept and tolerate. As far as I'm concerned the cons don't bother me and has become a part of my life. The one thing I enjoy about living remote is Winter and getting up early morning, having fresh coffee , filling the wood stove and then breakfast waiting for daylight to start. Usually, I will have a fresh loaf of bread baking or cinnamon rolls. Mmmmm! I can smell them now. I will sit looking out the picture window looking for animals as I think about what to do. Probably a good day to split wood and/or haul water, do some shoveling or tamp down a path with snowshoes. Maybe putting on a day pack and snowshoes and going for a long hike. This beats having to get up every morning and commuting among all the traffic and sitting in an office or having a job you have to be there and in a lot of cases, not wanting to be. Living remote, you are definately in charge of you own life and not a slave to the confines of the so called civilized world. I don't miss the noise, the crime, crowded malls and etc. Living remote, you find your mind is a lot sharper and you pretty much notice anything out of place and aware of everything around you. OK, that's enough for today. I will update at least once a week. Take care and HAPPY SPRING?
