I prefer black snow verses white snow

For those who aren’t familiar with black snow it’s what happens in Texas when they burn the sugar cane. It’s long pieces of oily residue that floats down from the sky. One thing you don’t do is try and sweep it, it really makes a oily mess. You either use a blower or wait for the wind to take it away. But today we have been experiencing white snow and we really do not like seeing this. It’s not so much the snow it’s the cold temperatures that come with it. I for one prefer seeing pictures from the family members rather than seeing this in person.  We’ve also had a lot of rain this week. Our rain gage had 3.5 inches the last time I looked. All in all we have had enough of this crappy weather and ready for spring.

Larry’s been working on installing the washer/dryer most of the week. Seems like every time he tried to do something there was a problem. But yesterday he finished it up and today I’ve enjoyed doing laundry here and not having to go to the laundry mat. He still has to finish putting more foam insulation on the walls but that’s next weeks project.

He also has been working on the Lionel Train set and has gotten it running.  Lots of little tiny pieces that had to be taken apart and cleaned.

I finally found someone to come and roll the yard. There seems to be a awful lot of so called “lawn care” people advertising but they all must really be busy out there cause trying to get someone to return your call is something else. But I’ve found that seems to be the norm this week on calls I’ve had to make.

Guess that’s it for this week. Till next time………………
