A Drop of Golden Sun!

                                                                  


I took these pictures at the end of a blessedly sunny day which had melted most of the snow. But it was almost 4 and the sun was slinking along the southern ridge, as is its wont at this time of year.

We still have an iffy six or so weeks ahead--we can never forget the Great Blizzard of '93, aka the Storm of the Century, which was in March, during Spring Break. But we have a delivery of K-1 on its way, as well as propane promised for this week, and the temperatures are rising so that we can do without the space heaters in the greenhouse and the basement, and we don't have to leave the water dripping. Progress!

The forecast has caused our school buses to stay put today although it hasn’t started to snow yet. Grandson must be delighted.

I'm doing a tiny virtual jig at sunshine and warmer days. Wow, if we get more of this cold and snow, I'm not going to like groundhogs ever again! Yes, no faucet dripping last night for the first time in weeks! Simple coping strategies!

The thaw begins today in the DC region. The whole DMV is still covered with snow and ice, and frozen mountains line every road, but the temperatures are going above freezing for the first time in forever.
