Lucky Rabbit's Foot?

 

While going to the car this morning I spotted this animal foot in our driveway. I'm not totally sure but I think it's a rabbits foot. I took a quick snap of it and proceeded to drive the Better Half to Samaritan Medical Center where she was scheduled for an iron infusion. This was at 10:30. When we got back home about 4:30 the animal appendage was gone.

Temperature went down to 1 below zero last night. Today's high reached 32 with sun shine all day. TheBH's iron infusion was an unexpected 4 hour treatment. She had a bad but not uncommon reaction with some swelling in her hands and body general malaise which set in near the end of the procedure. stopped it about 10 minutes early. She previously had some infusions with no reaction, but they were for smaller doses administered over a 90 minute session. Today ny phone counted 3,560 steps. 

Animal Tracks on Snowy Driveway and Sidewalk

 

Animal tracks on new fallen snow in our driveway and sidewalk.

Our driveway and sidewalk were covered with animal tracks in the snow this morning.I discovered them as I was taking the trash to the curb for Wednesday pickup. Animal activity is not unusual here. There appeared to be deer prints and cat prints as well as other critters. The cat could be one of the neighbors animals or a feral cat. We had gotten a thin layer of new snow overnight that recorded the imprints. 

The Better Half had an appointment today with podiatrist to look at a very sore toe. This doctor removed  the toe nail from it last June. He feels the toe has a sore related to poor blood circulation. So we will be investigating that. 

This evening I went to an art talk at Fibbonacci Gallery in Watertown. The speaker was local art collector Carl McLaughlin.

Snow Photos Again Today

 

Awoke to more new snow here in Chaumont this morning. We had new snow yesterday too but I never got around to posting any of them. This morning's snow was about 15 inches deep. Temp was 19 degrees when I went out to shovel at 8:30 this morning. I did a thorough jib clearing our driveway and sidewalks. All told I was out there for 2 and half hours. Grandson JJ happened to be driving a delivery truck by our house this morning which was a fun, brief meeting. iPhone shows I walked 7,123 steps.

Snowy Day, I Shovel Driveway, Chaumont, NY

 

Initial path shoveled in snow in our driveway.

It was a blustery, snow day here in Chaumont, NY today. High temperature was 21. I spent about two hours shoveling our sidewalk and driveway. It was windy and cold but I enjoyed being out in the crisp fresh air. My right shoulder has been bothering me much lately with a chronic pain. Shoveling snow however didn't aggravate it.

Sidewalk is Finished, a Cool, Sunny Day, Mowed the Lawn

Tuesday, April 25th, concrete poured for new sidewalk. 

It was beautiful day here in Chaumont, NY. It was cool, about 50 degrees, a light breeze and sunny. Today the guys that did our sidewalk finished up, cleaned up, and went on their way. We are quite pleased with the outcome. The actual pouring of the concrete happened a couple days ago on Tuesday the 25th. I also mowed lawn for the first time this season.
