Snow Day!

I have a three-day weekend, thanks to a built-in snow day that we didn't have to use at school this year.  Yay!  And, wonder of wonders, the weather is nice!  Meg managed to get the front lawn mowed the other day, but we couldn't mow the back because the back had too many obstacles, including lawn trash by the wood burner that hasn't been burned yet.  I took advantage of the weather today to work on the patio, cleaning up broken glass (from a box of ornaments that got blown over).  I got MOST of the yard mowed in back, but there is still a lot to do back there to make it "playable" for the children.  In any case, I have enjoyed the process of discovering the back yard again.

Meg is seeing light at the end of the tunnel for her writing class.  She almost gave up but needed to stick with it for a lot of reasons.  Just getting through this class has been a weekend-consumer for her.  We will BOTH be glad to see it over!

I went out to buy tablecloths for the patio tables.  Have looked everywhere for some that I like, to no avail.  Finally found a couple at Kohl's today.  Got them home and found out, in true Peggy fashion, that they aren't vinyl!  Back to Kohl's they go!

I'm going to run out of good weather this weekend, but at least I had this one nice day!
