out, out, damned spot
that tiny patch of snow you see on the webcam is the only snow remaining in the front yard. (there's still a passel in front of paul's workshop.) i think the mound in front is left over from angry mr. plow, who heaps it high at the end of the turnaround.
the picture on the webcam is somewhat obscured by the window screen. the sun shines on the screen and makes a reflection in the picture. i am not complaining. a blurry picture is a small price to pay for plenty of much-needed sunshine.
