54 degree temperatures today. It's gorgeous outside. The Lunation "Berm" continues to hold it's own against the heat. The Labyrinth still holds the imprint...for now.
Yesterday, I was able to walk the Labyrinth, using some focus on the path. The weight of the Labrices left an imprint on the grass which makes it possible to walk the path with concentration. As you can see the Labrices left an imprint on the grass. So, the handprint of God remains still.
A view from the porch this morning. The Labrices are virtually gone, the paths are imprinted in the grass from the weight of the Labrices and walking the paths. The Lunation "Berm" still strong, the Rosette and Labyrs perservere. It's been a wonderful experience The Snow Labyrinth. I've probably shoveled 5-7 tons of snow and walked, shoveled and stomped the path, Labrices, Labyrs, Lunation "Berm" countless times. As the entire hand-print of God fades and God takes it back, I will be anxious to construct it all over again next year and see what happens with the build, walk and overall experience. I'll keep posting until there is nothing left but grass. A complete cycle from grass in the Fall to grass in the Spring.
Thursday, March 11th. I took what was to be my final walk on the Labyrinth. The Labyrs were still there and enough of the Labrices existed enabling me to walk the path without having to think about where the next turn was or where the path was. It was an enjoyable walk. Temps in the 40's. I know it was the final walk since Today, Friday February 12th I went out and began to walk the path and realized in some areas I had to think about where the path was and then it became a left brain activity and that for me, defeats the purpose of walking the Labyrinth without having to think where you are walking. The Labyrs, Rosette and Lunation "Berm" are still intact and we'll see how long they last.
I walked the Labyrinth last night. It was pretty awesome, the paths are still there. The Labyrs intact, the Rosette intact and obviously the Lunation "Berm" still there. I was able to easily walk the path. As you can see, each day with temps in the 40's is slowly taking its toll on the Snow Labyrinth.
Today the sun is shining, temps in the low 40's. No snow in the near future and temps in the high 40's and rain on the way. It's time to start saying goodbye to the Labyrinth.
March 7th. No blizzards, no storms...no snow.
March 3rd. No new snow. Warm temperatures and as you can see from these videos an overview of the Labyrinth shows the paths with grass and the Labrices, Labyrs, Rosette and Lunation "Berm" still intact. The snow has turned to ice in most places due to melt during the warm days and freeze during the evening temps in the 20's. Now, it's a daily melt...nightly freeze. We'll see what the rest of March brings.
With some fresh snow of a few inches on February 27th, I was able to fill in the paths and cover the grass. The weather has been tame and not typical of a February winter. More erratic weather to come in the next few weeks. Spring is probably upon us and March will probably not come in like the proverbial lion but more like the lamb.
After a full night of rain, temps in the 40's, the 16" of snow dwindled down, but didn't disappear. As you can see, the paths show the grass and lots of wet snow to shovel around the lunation "Berm"
The paths are grassy, slushy and the Labrices are still with us. I made a video which can be viewed to the right.
The fourth quadrant after the rain. Let's hope for a freeze, to turn the Labrices, Labyrs, Rosette and Lunation "Berm" into ice.
This is what 16" of wonderful snow looks like with a little containment shoveling. Taken yesterday, February 25th.
