Backyard Archaeology-The Winter Finds

I really thought my backyard archaeology wouldn't result in any significant finds until the Spring. But a few days in December, January, and February, I spent time in my yard pulling weeds and trimming trees and bushes. After three years I truly thought I had found most of what was in the yard to find. I was wrong. This winter I found more objects than during the Fall. I'm starting to wonder if my yard possess a vortex to another dimension that sends objects through to this realm. That, or my yard is producing items as if it were a 3-D printer.

This winter yielded a baseball, nice bread knife, marble, screw driver, ink pen with ink still inside, blue ball, glue gun stick, spade, metal butterfly, swimming goggles, a toy spaceship, metal stacks and wire, and a few other random items.

Snow!

My area finally got a little snow this February. We had a day of the white cool fluff, then it melted. We then had another day of powder, and it melted. Finally we got three solid days of snow, and the dogs had fun playing in it. From the looks of the blue sky out my office window this first day of March, I think that small amount of snow is it for my area for this year and that Spring is near.

Just so you don't worry about Fern and Boomer, they have a dog door and can come in from the snow at any time they want to.

The Snow Pumpkins

And yes, alas, the Halloween pumpkins were still on the deck when it snowed.
