Snow, Snow, Snow!

When I got up this morning about 0645 I could hear the rain hitting the sky light and when I made it downstairs I could still hear the rain outside, but about a half hour later when I went out to bet the paper I was snowing. It was snowing lightly but never-the-less it was snowing.


Later on this morning it started to snow harder and the flakes were getting much larger and it was snowing much harder but still nothing was sticking. The temperature was about forty degrees out so it was not surprising that the snow was not sticking but it was interesting to see it snow so hard and nothing on the ground to show for it.

It finally stopped snowing around noon and then the sun came out and was a bright day, so I went out and chopped some wood and pulled some weeds in the rose garden. I also remembered that I had a box full of iris that I had dug up last fall, but no one wanted any then so I put the box in the garage.

So since they would just die if I left them in the garage I decided to put them in the back of the rose garden against the fence. I just placed them on the soil, that way if anyone did want some I could just pick them up and not have to dig some more up.

I came into the house after a while when the sky started darkening and before long it was raining, so this has been one of those days where the weather was changing just about every hour or so.

I emptied the dishwasher and then swept and mopped the kitchen floor. I though about going upstairs and painting, but last time I did that my joints hurt for several days afterwards. I am not sure whether it was from the painting or cleaning up the brushes and rollers afterwards. I suppose that more likely than not it was a combination of both.

So I went onto my computer and paid the bills and matched up my charge receipts with what was on the bills after I paid them. This give me the opportunity to make sure what I am being charge for I actually charged; it also give me the opportunity to review what we did spend our money on.

I finally sat down and promptly fell asleep in my chair. I am realizing everyday that my energy level is so low that it is no wonder that it takes me forever to get anything done.

Tonight on the news they showed pictures of Lincoln City; on the coast; and all the snow that they were having. It is pretty unusual for the coast to get much snow. I think that Lincoln City is where Alyssa, Dan and their children were going to spend their spring break; I hope they are enjoying the "nice" weather at the coast.
