The snow continued

After a week of -10 and school closures we are finally seeing the end. I was able to get to work two days and was stuck in the driveway on Thursday. The rain has begun.

Snow Day

Doesn't look like much snow, but when you see overturned semis along the freeway, people panic. I got to work today but the students didn't so I am warm and safe at home.

Organizing my cords

In an attempt to organize the USB cords I use often I added a bread tag to each and wrote the name of the device it is used for. Why can't they all use the same USB?

To keep them close at hand I anchored them to my desk. I'll let you know if all of this works.

Migratory visitors

I love it when the "snow geese" aka Trumpeter Swans arrive in the valley.

I took this picture from my car with my iphone so it's not a great closeup, so click on the picture for a better view of these big birds.

Super Recycler

How's that for a receipt!

Dave came home with this slip of paper, but sadly not the $3924.70. When they make an typing mistake they don't pay out. Not sure why that is?

Happy New Year and back to work

It's been a great two weeks off with family and dry weather. Got lots done in the yard but I wish I had more time. Next break is March.

I was able to fit in a bike ride, Bikram Hot Yoga, a Zumba class and the commune's (our name for the complex of houses on our property) first Resolution Walk on Jan 1. Wish I had more time to do that too!

Happy 2012!!
