Last Snow of the Season

Took the boat out of winter inside storage. Took it home to do some prep before putting it in the water in a couple of weeks when the Marina opens. The sun was shining. It was a warm day and Spring was just one day away. Life is good. But!!! Woke up this morning and looked out the window just to be sure the boat that I had put in the driveway was ok. To my surprise the boat and the car which I now have to keep out of the garage has about 1 inch of snow.

The good news is that if the sun comes out either today or tomorrow as we may get a little more snow, at least the small amount of snow should melt. I think I will wait a few days before I start to prep the boat for the water.

Boat out of Winter Storage

Looks like the snow has finally melted with the rain this week. I plan to bring the boat home from winter storage so that I can clean it up and get it ready to put in the water the first week in April. Only a couple short weeks away.

Great Day at the Zoo

Full sun all day and only a slight chill in the air. All of the animals were out and about. Even the 1 week old camel was out in the sun. All of the big cats were very active and as you can see in the pictures they got up close and personal with the grandchildren.

March 5, 2010 still counting the days until Spring and sailing happens

Spending the weekend with the 4 grandchildren. Taking them to the Milwaukee Zoo tomorrow. Tomorrow is a free day so the zoo will more than likely be very crowded. The weather is supposed to be a little warmer with sunshine most of the day so it should still be fun. Maybe we will see the Polar Bear out and warming itself in the sun.
