Spring?

They keep saying it's spring. I don't believe it. It snowed here this week. No, it didn't stick BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!

Bogus Basin ski area closes this weekend, and for once, I think the snow is better now than it has been a lot of the season. I guess we'll go skiing - but I really want warmth, sun and to be able to plant my garden.



I have some better pictures of finches that I got today, but for now, this is the extent of my bird photos - every time I've tried to take their pictures, until yesterday, the damn things flew off.


Bucky got his paws on a squirrel Monday, but it put the afterburners on and escaped. Now there's a dead dove by our back door. Okay, cat, you've done enough damage to the animal kingdom this week, you can take a break.


In other news? I am way behind on my homework for my CEBS certification (but I'm catching up), Big Bit still hasn't chosen a school, but will be here next week and hopefully will do so.

We've booked a trip to celebrate Big Bit's graduation - we're going to Washington, D.C. Thankfully we had enough frequent flyer miles from years of travel and a merger between Northwest and Delta to get plane tickets. We are excited, I've been there for work but only got to visit the Mall area briefly, Big Bit went but there was a hurricane that week and he didn't get to do much, and Little Bit and TH have never been. So this should be fun.

The Green Bay Packers were kind enough to announce a pre-season game in Seattle in August. That will be our other extravagance - it's the only chance I have to watch them this year, so we're going.

Now, if it would just get warm enough to move about freely outside. I have cabin fever in the worst way.

GRRRRRRR

Hey good news, I'm still employed and maybe Sybil is working on resolving her five personalities. 'Bout time. When I leave this job I want it to be on my terms, and hopefully not because I have an ulcer.

However, there is disappointing news afoot, take a look:

Here's the latest National Weather Service update for our little slice of heaven. Someone needs to explain to the snow gods that it is mid-April and this really can stop anytime!

Late Afternoon: Rain and snow likely. Cloudy, with a high near 54. Breezy, with a northwest wind around 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

Tonight: Snow likely, mainly before midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. Blustery, with a northwest wind between 21 and 24 mph becoming calm. Winds could gust as high as 38 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Here's a picture of the houses across from ours - usually you can see mountains and a field behind them (click on the picture to get the full effect, if it will blow up for you):

Snow, Part Duex


Another beautiful day in Utah (taken on 2/13/08) - man I am just lovin' this place.

Hmph. I grew up driving in this crap but it's easier to take when you are 14 and bulletproof than when you're 41 and surrounded by a bunch of people that can't drive.

My husband got home from work at 1:30 a.m. They closed the road to where I work (as does he) and had I not gotten a Mommy sixth sense and left work at 3 p.m., Little Bit would have been on his own for most of the night, and I would have been frantic.
