Road Work Update

The road work along Ijamsville Road from near Ball Road to Prices Distillery is expected to go through about June 2013, according to the project manager. I've driven on the new road from MD-80 to Ball Road... it's really nice.

CSX Railroad crossing work near Mussetter/Ijamsville Road intersection has closed off the commuter route recently. Word is that such projects take about a week. They should be motivated to finish things up given the upcoming rain and wind potential by Sunday night into Monday and Tuesday (from Sandy). I'll go check out the status later this afternoon. UPDATE- This project was finished Friday Oct 26! YES!

Frog at the House

I have a frog at my front step this evening. My dogs might go after it, so I hope it goes back to the lake soon.

It's Officially Fall

It is a great thing to finally say it IS Fall! Right on cue, we have comfortable temperatures and low humidity. Hopefully we will get some good fall color. A few cool nights would get things going.

Road work

I just went with my dogs down Hemlock Point Rd toward the bridge and the road is a mess as you head toward the right turn. I do like the paved extension and more room beyond the houses on the sideroad. Still, I won't be walking down toward the bridge any time soon.

Lawn

Would it be better to mow the lawn before tomorrow's rainfall, or wait until Sunday, after the cold front... a day where I have lots of stuff planned... or wait until MONDAY, a workday?

Check out this little guy... saw him yesterday morning

Dog Update

My dog has lost 15 lbs in the past 3 months. She's got so much more energy!

Snow in February 2012

It's been a crazy warm winter, but today we got treated to a fluffy snow fall. The flakes are so big, that I measured a few spots of 2.5 inches. It's really more like 1.5 or so. Anyway, a good show!

Warm!

Mid 60s today? Not exactly wintry, ya know?
