It seems the days are almost not long enough for all that goes on in them.
I started with an early chamber meeting, and then back to the office working on some projects and also some emails to follow up on, and then I had another Chamber Chowtime to go to at noon. Where I got an email from my other employer R. and they wanted to know if I could come in for the early evening shift, as the worker who was supposed to work was out ill.
I told them yes, and showed up there at 5:00 pm for a 3 hour shift, actually ended up there till about 8:25pm. After that, I got home and grilled up some bratwurst for supper, which Crystalie waited for so we could eat together.
Now after supper a little TV, reruns and some computer time, and soon it will be time to get some sleep.
I know that everyone has a busy life, and the hours and minutes seem to fly by each day. The key is to enjoy some little things each day and not to take them for granted.
After 3 dreary cloudy rainy days, the sun peaked out this afternoon and evening, and we enjoyed a beautiful evening. The next few days look to be pretty decent based on the forecast, but we will see if the weatherman is right.
Anyhow, think of one of the little things you enjoyed, and enjoy the rest of this day!

The rains stopped and the sun shines!
The last couple of days we have had some wet weather which we needed, to keep all the new plants growing in the gardens and also all the plantings Crystalie has made.
All in all we got about 1.3 inches of rain. It was a good soft rain, and hardly any wind, so it couldn't have been more ideal.
Tonight, the 16th, it cleared off late afternoon and now the sun is shining and everything is glistening and you can almost hear the grass grow.
Friday March 4th
Musings, of a long winter....
Yes it seems like we have had snow for months on end, but really only 5 so far...and yes there is more to come based on what the weatherman is forecasting for the next week.
The temperatures haven't given us any thoughts of Spring yet, as the lows have been around 10 above...and the highs haven't even reached above freezing this last week.
Which probably means that when it does warm up, it will be fast and we will be besieged with news of lots of flooding, which is not good for our fellow Minnesotans, or North Dakota friends. If you live in a place that has a potential to flood, I can not comprehend how you deal with the impending threat of flooding.
The sun shines longer each day and as I drove home from Grand Rapids, I noticed even at 7:00pm there were traces of light blue on the western horizon, the last glimmers of the sun setting. In Minnesota, depending upon where you live the horizon is not always that far away, meaning the trees maybe out your back window, not allowing you to see the sun dipping below the curve of the earth. One of the things I always love about North Dakota, was that you could see the sun slowly go down over the horizon, as it paints the sky with the most beautiful picture.
At Coffee Lake Farm, we have a fairly open area, and we see such sunsets, almost all year around, one of things I love. The picture above was last summer, but it gives you an idea of the horizon we see.
The weekend is here and I will be outside, working on some projects in my shop, even though it is cold out, I am hoping that I can at least start on my long project list.
