I hear a lot of folks complaining about the winter we’ve had this year. I’ve actually kind of enjoyed not having snow/rain/mud alternating every other day. We’ve had almost steady snow on the ground since Christmas. Just when we could start seeing the grass again, we got a 10 inch snow fall. We haven’t seen the grass since.
I heard on the news this afternoon that the weather guessers are predicting snow again this week. I worked on my atv plow today and cleaned up the mess the borough employees left when they plowed the alleys. It took longer than I expected since we had so much rain/ice mixed in with the snow we’ve had the past few days. When I got back inside, I heard that tomorrow the temperature could be 46 degrees. That will be good. The ice that was under the snow I plowed off will melt just in time for the next round of snow to hit.
What else goes on in my life? Hmmm. Well, my kitty roommate is starting to show some signs of getting aclimated to my house. She comes out on her own and jumps up on the bed when its treat time. She also spent some time with me in the kitchen while I was baking pizza to take for lunch Friday. I have to say she has been pretty friendly from day one. She just likes to hide a lot. I’m not sure whether that is due to the other animals that the former owner had or if its just still a new place to get used to. She still likes to run from place to place when she comes out, but she doesn’t run quite as fast. She also doesn’t detour behind the couch or love seat to stear clear of me. I guess all in all things are moving in the right direction.
I’ve spent a little time with Sherry and Camille since Christmas. I went to Camille’s skating competition over at the Chevy Center in Youngstown. She did pretty well. Her picture made the front page of the Youngstown Vindicator and their website. Camille has another competition in New York this coming weekend. I don’t think I’m going up to it. Its a two day competition about two and a half hours from here. Sherry and her family are spending the weekend up there as a family gathering.
I’m glad that Sherry puts so much value in her family. Too many families these days don’t see each other except maybe when they pass in the hall or going out the door. I respect that she schedules Saturday Family Nights with her mom and dad. We try to plan our outings around Saturday so she doesn’t have to interupt these special nights.
I’m just kicking back tonight, relaxing. I changed the sheets on my bed today and bought new pillows to replace my old not-so-fluffy-any more ones. The cat didn’t know what to make of me working on the bed while she was under it. I decided to get out the remote control helicopter Sherry got me for Christmas and give it a try. It’s one of those little ones that you fly inside. The guy in the mall made them look really easy. Umm.. yeah. The batteries just finished charging so I guess I’ll give it another spin around the room… see how many times I can crash. HAHA.
