revealed

2 days of 60 degree weather and a torrential rainstorm last night (here and north of us in massachussets at the headwaters) set the rivers in town to flooding, causing the kids' school to be closed today (my greatest condolences to those whose houses and farms were/are inundated). i used most of the personal day i had to take to work on grading (so what else is new) but late in the afternoon i went outside to get a look around and saw GRASS for the first time since christmas! that's the backyard...

and a whole lot of broken shrubs that will have to be pruned down to nothing, or taken out entirely.

also, this little friend came to visit....

she was around for 5 days last week...very friendly, not skinny...she must belong to someone but she has no collar, and she was in heat (shouldn't someone have kept her in?!). she went away for a few days, but she came back today... i think she wants to be my cat....
