It was not part of "the plan"

We had a pipe burst near the sidewalk out front so, we've had no running water for almost three days.  The plumber comes this morning. I'm not going to rant and rave.  After all, that's not the motto around here.

  I'm going calmly through the day...looking at this in a positive way...

and I'm not even going to post photos of it.  Instead, I'm gazing at this:

A beautiful reminder that Spring will come...eventually.  And, I have several projects on the back burners waiting for those mild days.  I plan on sanding, priming, and repainting the wrought iron deck table and chairs, and the patio picnick table.  I want to re-pot several plants - I  really like terra cotta for this.  Want to seal and stain the deck.  Plan on enlarging the brick entry into the backyard, tear down the eyesore of a playscape, re-plant grass.....aahhh...Spring.  It brings nicer weather but more work!
