More snowflakes were falling this morning when I took the dogs outside.
Happily, they are no longer falling.
Yesterday's snow created some pretty scenes around the place.
With a promise of 60 degrees in a few days, we'll deal with it.
Speaking of dealing with the elements, my sisters finally had their power restored at 8:30 p.m. last night.
So, they toughed it out for almost two days.
They said the biggest problem was light, especially in their stable where they had to wear head lamps to feed horses and clean stalls.
So, maybe now, one week before spring officially begins and after a comparatively mild few months, we can say that we've had winter.
Bring on the spring!
I've heard that weather changes are often credited with the onset of aches and pains. I've also heard the same about vertigo, at least for older dogs.
I don't know if it's true, but I'll blame the weather change for triggering a second bout of canine vestibular disease for our Foster.
Like the first round, this came on almost instantaneously. Fine one minute, floundering the next.
So, the little guy has been getting lots of tender loving care since yesterday morning.
It's tough on him, but he's a trooper. We're keeping our fingers crossed that he works his way through this episode.
On a light note, Bill and I had a great time at the Gehring household last night. The occasion revolved around the visit from Portland of a fellow educator, her son and her grandson.
We've all known each other for decades. Several years ago, she moved to Portland, so it was a special visit.
With other teachers, current and retired, we enjoyed some good story telling and more than enough laughs.
Some of these included passing around affirmation cards to boost our outlooks or NOT.
It's safe to say that a good time was had by all, and Bill and I thoroughly enjoyed being among the guests.
A neat perspective on the high school art students who created colorful bowls for last week's Empty Bowl luncheon which benefitted the Bonner Community Food Bank.

Ann knows how to laugh.
She was one of my test listeners whenever I wrote stories for my books.
And, she did giggle very adequately on the punch lines.
Ann Gehring wrote and recited a poem especially for our friend Kathy who just turned 80.
Kathy, on the left, came for a weekend visit from Portland, where she now lives.
Asher, in the middle, is one of Willie's SHS varsity basketball players, and Melinda, on the right, teaches at SHS right next to Willie.
Kathy babysat Asher way back when, so they had a nice reunion last night at the Gehring household.
Part of my day yesterday was spent in my hairdresser's chair, getting my hair highlighted, and, of course, swapping stories with her.
Betcha can't guess what her name is.
This image is a partial look at a painting I saw yesterday.
No explanation for the image below---St. Patrick's Day is not that far away.
While we wait to celebrate the luck and joy of the Irish, I'll just wish you all a Happy Saturday.
Enjoy the beautiful Irish hymn below.
