Snow and ice in April

It's so nice knowing the weather is predictable.

For example, if you assume that the worst will happen. It will. If you assume it's going to be unseasonably cold and miserable every day, you will not be dissapointed.

We woke up this morning to nice powdery snow coming down. Mike is out here, and he decided to stay on and ride it out. It got heavier and heavier. Now it's "raining". I say "raining" because it's actually ice ... I stuck my face out of the door earlier to be soaked and beaten by the weather, nice.

But this should be it. Should be. My parents are getting here on Wednesday, so it's quite likely to be horrendous and miserable :)

I've been busy this weekend ... we've had a bunch of stuff we've been putting off in the house, and finally we were in a position to get it done. We now have some nice blinds in our family room (the sheer curtains up before gave no privacy at all) on the road facing side (this also hides our TV from view!). I got some blinds up in all three bathrooms (we've never bothered, as they all face the garden, and there is never anyone back there) and we got curtains up in the back bedroom we now use as the main bedroom. We also got the dogs to the groomers, so they smell nice and don't rip your flesh off with sharp claws.

I've also spent time cleaning up the place ...we are finding that the "Mr Clean Magic Erasers" are awesome for removing puppy paw prints from the walls under the windows :D

Some mopping of puppy pee stains on the tile needs to be done next.
