Aaaargh!! I can’t believe it! Here it is the 21st of March and we got several inches of snow on the ground last night! Yesterday started out all nice and warm and sunny, about 50= deg F, and by 9pm it was snowing! Aaarrrrrgggghhhh!
We were supposed to go to several Easter Egg hunts with the spawn today. (Well, I wasn’t, but I had arranged for someone to take the spawn...I can’t stand outside for very long...) But NOooooo! We have to have snow!
Aaaarrrrrggghhh! Now I have to explain to the spawn why they have to stay inside..again!! (Oh yeah, that will be fun.....NOT.)
Uuuuuurrrrrrrggggghhhh!
(...stamps around the cave spilling cookie crumbs and choco bits everywhere, frothing at the mouth...)
Remember, folks: convert to Eastern Orthodox soon after Sunday, and then you can have Easter (and lots of chocolate) again on April 27th! And maybe you can take the spawn out on an egg hunt then, too, Daveprime.
And Madmouse, you put that one fence post in upside-down.

Use white easter eggs in the snow. It would be so much fun.
I had fun yesterday. Went off to Earl Gray, a nice teahouse in Old Sacramento. They were having their annual Mad Hatter Tea Party. Lots of good tea, and silly fun. I’m regretting not wearing my bright patchwork vest, though.. It would have fit in well.
Well, technically I wasn’t in the rain, since I was in my home. But my home was in the rain. But not alone, since there were a bunch of other homes around it at the time that were also sitting in the rain. And I would imagine that there were other people in some of those homes, too, sitting around in their homes that were sitting in the rain. So I guess I wasn’t alone in the experience of sitting in a home that was sitting in the rain. Merely alone in this one particular home. Not that I was entirely alone here, either, what with this planet’s remarkable biodiversity.
So. . .I sat around at home. All alone in regards to fellow human company but not in regards to the shared experience of sitting in a home in the rain. In my dry and warm and cosy home that itself was in the rain, though the rain never came in contact with my own person.
Somehow that loses the dramatic impact of the initial lament, though.
We couldn’t have an outdoor Easter Egg hunt either, too much snow piled up. IT’s been sunny all weekend though, which has been really nice for a change.
I’ve just been up since 5:30am with a very excited 3 year old and have spent the day playing with Play-Doh and various Dora toys, and reading Thud (Discworld), which I found on the bargain table at Chapters for only $6.99 yesterday.
