It snowed here for much of Friday, and settled, so yesterday morning I ventured out to take some photos.
I was surprised at the lack of animal tracks across the plot although there were plenty elsewhere on the site especially of foxes nearer to where they live.
It may all look rather pretty but with already waterlogged ground when it does melt it’s only going to add to the problem.
Switching away from a wintry plot I did the 700th post here last week and yesterday I received this notification…
Happy Anniversary! You registered on WordPress.com 6 years ago! Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging!
Have a good week!

Congatulations on achieving this significant milestone! Your blog is not one of the “one-shot-wonders” that are so common in the blogosphere.
How nice that WordPress should recognize it too. I’m with Google’s Blogger, and I don’t expect any accolades from THEM!

Congratulations on your blog achievements. As they say, time flies when you’re having fun. We’ve still got snow here and are forecast a heavy fall tonight and in to the early hours, I’m hoping that it’s not too bad. It’s interesting to see the animal tracks in the snow and know for sure where the wildlife has been wandering.

The nice thing about your blog posts Mike is that they are always interesting and not overly long so well done on 700 and having done all that hard work on your plot a few months ago when it all thaws out you should be up and ready to go

David that good of you to say so. They’re not overly long as I’m a bit of a minimalist! I hopefully will be but it’s always a bit of a struggle to start with.

Wow, 700 posts! That’s a lot of writing – congratulations on your achievement. I’m just catching up with your posts Flighty, it seems we’ve both been out doing a little bit of plot pottering, a lot of book reading and biscuit munching! I was driving home from Capel in Friday’s snow and thought that I’d be able to see some fox, bird or cat tracks in the garden this morning but it was all very smooth which is unusual. I hope it eases off soon, I’m hoping not too much damage will be done by the bad weather.

Six years. I can hardly believe it. How many years on Platform27? Maybe a year or two…. and then several more on 20six, too. I like some of the new features on WP that remind me of 20six (stars and easy access to replies to comments). Shall tell you what temperature it was today? Nearly 80F!

Congratulations on your 700th post Flighty. That was nice of WordPress to send you that message. It’s quite an achievement to have been blogging for 6 years. We had some more snow over night but it looks like the thaw has set in now. I wonder if that will be the last of the snow for the winter or will there be more in February?
I’m sure the snow melt will cause problems. A lot of the fields around here hadn’t dried out before the snow came and are frozen lakes at the moment. I’m sure there’ll be some flooding in the weeks to come. The nights are getting noticeably longer though so spring isn’t too far away. WW x

Welly thanks. It was indeed. That’s just with this blog as I’ve had others, and was blogging regularly elsewhere for a couple of years before here.
No snow since Sunday here, and slowly starting to thaw. I’ve seen snow in April here!
It’ll depend on the weather as to how bad, or long, the flooding/water logging problem will be. Yes lighter nights are a welcome sight. xx
