Snowed

 It snowed about 3 maybe 4 inches and melted some on Friday.  We are all set for round two of the Winter Storm...who knows maybe it will fizzle out.

The roads were snowy and slippery when we took Sadie to daycare but dry when we picked her up. 


Grandson Noah came over and shoveled the walk and the driveway.

Easter weekend is upon us. 

Minnesota weather: Cloudy High 36F or 2C  Low was 32F or 0C.

We have no plans for Saturday or Sunday...just staying safe with Sadie.

Hopeful

 Dogs are forever hopeful...seems like they are always optimistic.

They never realize that the stick they have carried from the woods has to be left outside.


Surely it will fit inside?  

Maybe someone will come lay down in the snow with me? 

Nope not happening. 

It snowed most of the day...fine flakes...there is probably 2 or 3 inches of new snow. 

Minnesota weather: High 33F or 1C  Low was 29F or -2C eh!  We now have a Winter Storm Warning instead of a Winter Weather Advisory.

Far Guy went to his first April appointment (weekly infusion)...thank goodness we only have 9 appointments in April...practically on vacation. We need a rest after all the March appointments.  I went to Aldi and Hobby Lobby...everyone and their Uncle was in town today...storm shopping would be my guess.

Never give up...Spring is bound to come someday.

Pastel

 I am working on colors in the stash.  The stash could be an ongoing project for several years:)

There will be more colors, it is a shell stitch and I am using DK yarn and a 3.5  crochet hook. 

Tuesday morning Sadie came to tell us that she had a problem.  It was TUESDAY.  She goes to Daycare every Tuesday and plays with friends.  Andy forgot it was Tuesday and left her at home...good thing Far Guy knew what day it was and what her problem was!  How in the world did she realize it was Tuesday???  Dogs know more than we think they do. Yes Jen took her to daycare!  No April fooling either!

Minnesota weather: Snowy and windy.  High 35F or 2C  Low was 23F or -5C eh!
