Much fun Craig and great shots. Ruby’s new coat is smart–she does look so much like a coyote–what a sweet, playful pooch!!

Ok, so I went out and tried to clear my icicles, but one set was so huge (hung from the roof on top of the 2nd floor to a few feet off the ground) that I think I made it worse and I almost impaled myself while I was doing it, luckily I jumped out of the way in the nick of time. I got about half of it down, but any advice on what I should do now? There is no window or any easy way to get to that corner of the house from the 2nd floor either. Yikes. Very scary stuff. I should have taken a pic before knocking some of it down.

Thanks folks! I should have mentioned the danger, but I was having too much fun! As far as big icicles out of reach, maybe try tossing a bundled newspaper, or a couple of magazines rolled up and banded at it. Anything else may cause damage to your house or gutters. If it’s too risky, just stay out of the area until they fall or melt.

I heard a huge crash out back a little while ago, the giant icicles came down, luckiily they didn’t hurt anyone, can’t tell if they did damage at all to deck or house yet, but at least they’re down. 🙂

You did look like you were having a lot of fun, I should have realized the danger since these were so ginormous, but luckily no harm came. And I didn’t think about the damage to house/gutters, luckily I am renting. 🙂 The ones that are left are really big and wouldn’t even budge when I poked the shovel at them, so I think I’ll cease and desist. I’ll just have to warn the plow guys when they come to do the lot since they shovel my back deck and the icicles are in the back corner above the deck. I’m still really glad you reminded me to notice them, funny I noticed them on a bunch of other houses while driving around today.
