  2. This was fun! Is your snow all melted?

  3. Willow, yes everything that gets much sun melted on Sunday. Yesterday afternoon, I only saw snow in a few places until I got close to home. The road leading to my home is shady most of the time and the snow lingers there. Also it still covers 2/3s of my back deck for the same reason. It will have to warm up into the low 50s for it to all melt I suppose. Today's temp is supposed to be the upper 40s but by Sat and Sun the upper 70s are predicted. Go figure....spring in the south.

    I have my fingers crossed for you that you keep your job. Such worrisome times in business everywhere.

  11. Oh, I liked this, esp. with the extra comments. Can I steal this? Oh, I see you tagged me. Might take a few days, but I'd like to do it. Might have to add or subtract a few things. Or is that cheating?
