Imagine my surprise when I got off the plane last night to rain and snow on the ground after a 75-degree weekend at home! Imagine having to brush 4 inches of snow off of the car this morning when I left for work! Now imagine that just last week I was inline skating at the park in shorts and a tee shirt!
Strange weather here yesterday and today. Snow in the mountains, scattered flurries on the bench and scattered showers in the valley. An odd mix of black and white clouds, partially obscuring both mountainside and sky, casting holstein-like patterns of shaddow and light into the valley. Green grass poking through fresh white patches of snow. Snow clinging to tree blossoms. If only a photo would do it justice. (If only I had taken the time to take a photo.)
It was a busy weekend. I really missed seeing the family on Easter Sunday, but somehow my schedule seems to be in control of my life rather than the other way around! I arrived home Friday evening and did manage to enjoy the hot tub for a little while. French class and a going-away party for our friends Kevin and Will kept me away from the house most of the day on Saturday. Sunday simply disappeared… Next thing I know I’m back here. But with working back home yesterday and travel last night, then working and having a flying club board meeting (via telephone) today…It’s already 9:30pm and I’m only now having a little free time. So I thought I’d take a moment to make this post.
