Weather-wise March was closer to a “typical” Seattle winter
weather compared to the unbelievable (for this area) snow we had in
February. On the evening of 06MAR we had
snow & feared a repeat of the snow-pocalyspe! While it was a significant amount of snow; we
easily dealt with it. We even had a small
amount of wet snow on 11MAR, but our property was pretty well free of the last
of the snow piles by the middle of the monthJ
We spent the month mostly doing the outdoor projects we couldn’t
do last month. This was interspersed
with trips by one of us to Bremerton to babysit the grandkids. We have found that with the dogs & for
short stays, it is easier for one of us to stay home while the other takes the
ferry & drives to Bremerton. On one
of Corrie’s trips she took craft kits for the boys to assemble bird houses
& then paint them.
On one of our combined trips to Bremerton we were treated to attending
Jaxson’s kindergarten/first grade presentation of “Sounds a Little Fishy to Me”
featuring such classic songs as “A Whopper of a Whale”, “Blue Marlin”, &
“School’s In”. That evening Dan, Raymond
& Mason return to Jaxson’s school for the evening performance.
Dan managed to a few ski days in at Stevens Pass, including one day with an Academy classmate he hadn't seen in over 40 years, Paul Iremonger. And at the end of the month we had the Jaxson & Mason at our
house for babysitting.
Thanks to reasonable weather (for Seattle) we made a
little progress on finishing our new fence, & excellent progress on our
garden shed extension!
