Above Zero!
That cold front is now a cold middle. The bank clock said -4 when I drove Mike and Caro to school, but it's always a little high. The NOAA page said -6. But now it has climbed to a dizzy 1 degree F.
Darn good thing we got lucky and scored a snow shovel Friday, because we may need to get the path to the propane tank cleared sooner than May or June. On Friday, when I was at the middle school to GET Caro and Mike, I was telling some other teachers about our recent adventures, and one of them revealed she had seen a bunch of snow shovels stuck in the snowbank in front of the NAPA Auto Parts on Main Street in an advertising sort of way. So we checked it out, and bought the second to last one!!! Yay!
It was another nice quiet weekend at home for us. Only got minimal snow from the passing storm, and NO ice, so that made me happy. Mike seemed to be having a belated case of cabin fever, making him cranky off and on, but as the same could be said of me, I can't point fingers.
One thing about Mike that was GOOD was himnagging urging me to help him write something for his LJ/blog. He kept thinking of more and more topics, and it was so good to see him getting excited about communicating something new for him, where he had to concentrate hard for more words in new combinations that made his meaning clear. He was bouncing in place, with his eyes shining, working his brain and enjoying it!
I'm adding a link here, which we got from Carol K, and watched multiple times with great amazement. Mike did already put it on his LJ, so a few of you may have seen it, but if you haven't yet, you should! It's a cottontail having a tiff with a snake, probably a Mombunny, considering how fierce she's acting. Check it out!
