Well the good news is that it got up to about 9C yesterday (48F) and the several inches of snow that had fallen the day before mostly melted. The bad news is that I got up this morning, looked outside, and the ground is white again! Grumbling Crying

The wind is bad already, blowing before daybreak. Cold tonight too. I'll be bringing the little cabbage and broccoli seedlings back in the house.

Temp was 42 and sunny when we got up this morning but supposed to go up during the day. If it gets a little warmer, I will go out for awhile and pull weeds and clean up beds.

We finished getting all of our tax "stuff" together on Tuesday and are ready to take all of it to our tax preparer this afternoon.

Phillip,
Yep. I already dusted and vacuumed the other day. The bathroom is looking good considering i didn't do some of the ickier cleaning Whistling Just don't look down. I didn't do it, maybe I don't see it right away.... Today was laundry and we're working up to another load of dishes. I should mop but I have a week of cold so I better pace myself Rolling on the floor laughing

Well I feel better after reading everyone's weather, at least I'm not alone! Trapped inside this week by the cold temps and nightly flurries..in between feeding the woodstove, the house has been cleaned, laundry washed/dried, done a little baking, worked on my quilt, played with my plans for making crosses this summer, did some reading...Outside I've noticed the plants are growing, slowly. This weekend is suppose to continue to be cold with more flurries tonight and again Sunday night... Thumbs down
