After biking (the kind with pedals) around the hotel grounds this morning, we decided to relax a bit.
By the pool.
Yes, that’s my knitting. A pair of wool mitts. Pattern is called Treads. I’m writing from my iPad so getting the link to show up is challenging. I’m relaxing, so if you want to find it, I’m sure you can. Or leave a comment and I’ll look it up I and get back to you in a few days.
I’m having a hard time believing it’s still winter at home. We’ll be returning to this soon enough.
Last Wednesday I went to our daughter’s house to babysit our grandson since our SIL was out of town on business. Our daughter was one of the moms who had to help with a Valentine’s Day party at school and younger siblings were not allowed to attend.
They live west of us so I checked the weather forecast for Thursday and Friday. We were supposed to get 5-8 inches of snow and they were supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow.
Well, it didn’t quite turn out that way.
She got at least 10 inches of snow and we got 17 inches of snow.
I was stranded at her house.
So we made the best of it. The twins and I went out to build a snowman Thursday afternoon even though it was still snowing.
They have a 4-wheeler with a plow but it just wasn’t enough to clear the half-mile driveway quickly. Our daughter had never used the plow but figured it out. There was just too much snow and got it cleared enough to drive on after she worked on it for over three hours.
I got to my office about six hours late.
Normally I would have just gone home but I had to pick up a few things to take on an upcoming business trip. To Florida. Where I understand is warm, sunny, and snow-less!
I do have pictures of a finished sweater I will share later in the week.
It was 36 degrees at our house this morning and as I got closer to work, the temperature dropped a little.
It was misting when I got out of the car. And the trees were already coated with ice.
That didn’t stop this guy who rides his bicycle every day to work.
The drizzly mist just turned to snow. Wintery precipitation is predicted for this area. Snow, sleet, freezing rain? It’s going to be an interesting drive home this afternoon.
Good thing I brought these with me today.
We got some snow (and a day off work) but we didn’t get as much snow as predicted. No 10-18 inches of snow here. More like six inches before it started to melt.
These photos were taken around 10:00 this morning. Heavy, wet snow coming from the east. Temperature is about 32 degrees. This was perfect snowman making snow.
And these photos were taken at 2:30 this afternoon.
The sun is still shining and the snow is still melting. It’s 43 degrees outside right now.
Much ado about nothing.
