Hey, no snow! I can't say I was too sad to wake up this morning and find that all of the snow forecasted to hit Boston dumped in eastern NY/western Mass. In fact, I even took the time to document how well uncovered the front lawn was by snow.
There was some excitement in front, however, despite the noted absence of snow. For a few weeks a section of the sidewalk out front of the Wrights has been set for replacement. Today, that replacement happened. Great news for those walking by and those pushing lawnmowers.
Even more exciting was the case of the missing piece of asphalt. Donna, the next door neighbor, who has some mental deficiencies, was sure one of the kids in the neighborhood had gotten to the asphalt too quickly and knocked out a piece. Exhibit A in picture below.
Once I caught on to what she was getting at, I quickly assured her the hole was for accessing the piping underneath. "Ohhh, I've got one of those, too. Actually, I've got two in my sidewalk," Donna quickly quipped. She's always trying to one up me.
For those of you not in New England, here's a few shots of the tree out in front of the Wrights.
Most of the trees around Boston still have their leaves. It will still be a few weeks before everything really starts coming down. Then the fun of raking begins, and after that, undoubtedly snow! Have I ever told you how much I enjoy spring?

as a mower and shoveler I have been waiting for YEARS for that part of the sidewalk to be replaced...and of course it doesn't happen until I'm gone :-).
Oh, you're not completely gone yet. I think you'll be able to take advantage of that new, smooth pavement for a few more seasons.
