Snowy MorningJoe fixed his own breakfast this morning and let me keep sleeping. It seems I'm sleeping better lately than I have for years and although staying busy and getting really tired, I'm getting more rested - eventually. This is a very good thing.
Peeping through squinty slits in my eyelids first thing this morning I saw that the clouds were down below the mountain tops and gradually lowering to the valley floor. It must have rained again in the early morning hours. Shortly I could see the rain drops changing to snow flakes and pretty soon large feathery flakes were falling. It wasn't sticking at first then started piling up around the tufts of grass. By the time I got out of the shower the ground was white. Snow fell more or less all morning, often big fat flakes. By afternoon it was melting off but continued to snow, just not sticking. The dogs are really holeing up in the house. If we put them out they want right back in. Its really pretty out. I love that foggy misty look. It's supposed to be nice again and in the 60s in a day or so.
Joe was going to town to get some things he needed, but the weather has changed his mind about that. He's been bugging me since the middle of last week about when I'm going to town again. I'd been the day before he decided he wanted soemthing, but I'm not going until we have to go to Rock Springs on Thursday for his eye doctor appointment. Both Sandra and Charm called this morning, and enjoyed visiting with them. So the phone is back on. They weren't getting the snow staying on the ground at their places.
Sandy from the phone company wrote and said the whole system was down again. I'm sure it was off all day yesterday, and probably ever since we had that strange brown-out and power failure. The power has been fluctuating frequently lately. Betty called this afternoon and said she tried to call twice yesterday.
Except for doing the normal duties yesterdayI worked again most of the time on my painting data base. Remember I lost 2 or 3 hours of it I had done by not saving! So got it all back in and all updated. I was happy to see all the sales I had made during the last year, each time an entry changed from available to sold. Even as thorough as I tried to be updating the list I still missed entering a large new piece, so don't know if I'll reprint it again or just write it in by hand. I'm feeling in the mood do work on some of the artwork today. I have 90 pieces hanging in the barn, plus the prints, and maybe seven new ones at the framers.
And am at a place now where I can finish up getting the last comments into our WAOW membership structure for the new bylaws. Then will go on to the next thing - setting up a new Standing Rules and Outline for the officers jobs. Bet the board will be glad when I get back to working on all that. I just haven't had the ambition I had before I got sick to keep up with everything. It's been a change for me to deal with that.
The video of the moment is Lucy and Desi in The Long Long Trailer. I could hardly watch the part about taking the trailer over the mountain road. It made butterflies in my stomach. Nothing else much of interest today. There's leftover pot roast in the oven for dinner.
