Plastered Windows

Front Porch with 5" New Snow

Raking on Hold

Backyard Blizzard

Yippee - It's Snowing!

This morning woke up to a raging blizzard and about 5 inches or so of new snow. It's warm enough that it's melting though. It hadn't done anything at 4 a.m. when I was up. It was mild and calm then so was expecting a nice day and maybe a walk. Anyway now the sun is shining and the snow is melting pretty fast. I felt sorry for the little calves and other baby animals out in the weather, but it will make them strong.

Here's some good news --- Clayton is being advanced to Life Scout and earned one of his Citizenship and the Communications badges. He just has 5 required badges left and he will be ready to work on his Eagle project. He may be done by this summer. That means he could be an Eagle Scout by age 14!!! He has to plan a Family Project for his Family Life badge, so Beverly told him that he could be in charge of the Mother's Day/Family Night Activity. He says he's going to plan something really special for all us mothers and he is calling his cousins. Hmmmm, wonder what it is? She was going to have everyone bring Mexican potluck, so now Clayton says he is making the tacos. That will be a real treat. Clayton has been doing his first school research paper. He's even typed it.

Had a nice visit with Ruth on the phone yesterday afternoon. All the artists are getting ready to go to the Wyoming Artists Association State Convention this weekend. Everyone always has a great time, with events, art shows and workshops. I won't be going since I have to go to the doctor appointment.

No news to speak of here. Tomorrow Gina and I will drive to Jackson for my appointment. I'll keep you posted on what happens.
