SNOW ON THE RUN

Our snow is just about gone. Marilyn thought it was interesting to see how high the snow gets piled at the edges of parking lots. This bank of snow was once three times as high as the cars. Now it is getting dirty and worn down.

   

We hear that in southern Missouri the grass is greening up and jonquils are blooming. It will be a while before we see any flowers around here as we are expecting another snow storm this week. At least the streets are mostly clear of snow and yesterday, Marilyn went outside without a winter coat on for the first time in months. She said she felt like a bird out of a cage.

Good for the end of March. It is officially Spring, but it will be a while before we see it in reality.

I will see if this page will be published.

Let me know with a comment if you did received.

WINTER IN RETREAT - AT LAST

I wrote a long post about winter's gradual retreat, but lost it. Clearly, we are out of the habit of writing daily.

Al is much better and getting around more and more. That is very good news.

Marilyn is taking a writing class (fiction, this time) and started a yoga class yesterday at the nearby Senior Center.

Al is thinking of getting a tropical fish aquarium once again. He had Oscars for many years and one year in Pennsylvania they had a birthday party for Little Oscar IV, who was their writing helper before I came along. They had a grand birthday party for him one year and about 70 guests came to celebrate. It was fish-themed (L.O. was a pisces, of course.) and had an aquarium cake, Fish House punch (a potent Philadelphia recipe), gold fish crackers (you get the idea.)

They aren't ready to party yet, but things are looking up around here. I hope to find more things to write about soon.

This week the temperature got into the 50's one day so the snow is melting. We can see the outdoor thermometer once again. It was buried in the snow for a long time. We still have a couple of feet of the white stuff on the ground, but is is sinking fast. March is usually a snowy month, but we have been spared so far.
