Rain, Rain...

...Go away! Yet ANOTHER day of gloom with no end in sight! When I got up this morning and changed TV channels to the news, I noticed a lot of school closings. Huh? Why?? It seems the areas to the north of Indy had freezing rain. My grandchildren's school in Muncie was closed, as were 150 others. Not so here. There wasn't even much moisture on my car then. I noted with interest that several of my former students had posted on Facebook that their district had a 2-hour delay today but that they "didn't get the memo". No wonder! It wasn't posted anywhere! Wonder who dropped the ball on that one?



It has rained virtually all day today. There is a sparrow who is taking refuge from the wet under my patio awning. I get a little nervous about that. Many years ago, during a bitter cold spell here (like -27 degrees), a sparrow was stuck in a corner under the patio awning. Frozen to the surface? Caught, somehow? It was flapping around trying to get free. Who knows how long it had been there? I got brave, bundled up, and went out to the patio in the snow with a hair dryer and an extension cord with the intention of freeing it...and the silly thing flopped and died before my eyes before I could even get to it. Broke my heart!



I wish I could say that I accomplished a lot today. I didn't. Didn't feel all that good this morning...
