Measurable stubble

Based on how much of the Aruncus twigs are protruding, I would estimate somewhere between five and six inches. It looks and smells beautiful outside.

We await the arrival of the snow removal service with some anticipation. This will be their first real test. I expect having to explain to them the challenges of snow placement on this small city lot with its close proximity to neighbors. After doing it ourselves and myself for twelve years, it's hard to just let go.

Today marks the beginning of "The Purge". Household, computer, etc...a clean-up and organizing session that will last a minimum of five days. I am looking forward to that too.
