• A blanket of snow...

  It was beautiful out this morning.  The rain turned to snow while we slept.  It was a wet snow, that hung in the trees and covered the ground.  On the way to work, I passed a white pasture with black cows standing around.  It was hovering at freezing, so the snow all melted by noon.  

  It is also Ash Wednesday. And thus begins Lent. 

  There was a bit of drama early in the day, but that was resolved, and the rest of the day went smoothly.  I felt bad for one girl, who came in with her ankle hurting because she twisted it a week ago.  No bruising, no swelling.  I gave her an ice pack, and told her to go back to class.  STudent: "No, wait.  My stomach hurts.  It's my stomach that is really hurting."  Check temperature.   Me--"No fever.  You ate lunch?"    Student: "Yes."   Me--"Ok, go back to class."   Student: "I've been coughing.  hack hack."  ME-- "I can let you do a salt water gargle."  Student--"No, I'll just go back to class."   

  I finished Cat & Mouse.  It was good but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as Along Came a Spider.  

  I like Greek Yogurt.  I've tried different varieties.  Fage was my favorite until it became almost impossible to find.  Now I'm eating Dannon Oikos.  I've been alternating the "single serving" size of fruit on the bottom with oatmeal for breakfast.  I just discovered the Cafe Latte flavor.  YUMMY.  It's perfect for dessert.  Or a special treat. 

  Tonight was chicken pot pie.  Tomorrow night--left-over chicken pot pie.  

  The Almanac weather prediction for Feb. 14-22: Sunny; then snow showers & turning cold.  Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny. There's some snow in the forecast and colder...and by colder I mean "normal" for February.

  If there is any activity going on with the broccoli seeds, it's under the soil.
