Carl and the boys are leaving in the morning. Early in the morning.
It’s 8 PM and I should be going to bed. It will be the opportunity for 7 hours of sleep.
Carl is packed and ready. A second is scheduled to arrive in an hour, at which point he will be considered packed and ready. The third will be unknown until we arrive at his domicile at 3:40 in the morning.
So this will be it for tonight.
Nothing to see here.
Goodnight
It has been a month since the snow first fell in Seattle.
February 9th
March 3rd
The first snow fell 4 days before the first picture, but we were in Nashville.
We walked yesterday to a party and back, and today we walked to the store and back. And I wear a scarf, hat, gloves and jacket every day.
For the record, I did not get the raspberries pruned. But I did get some vacation planning done. For two different vacations! One was just changing lodging and a car. Bonus, extending the car rental for a day ended with a lower total price!
Tomorrow it’s going to be pedal to the metal at work. I almost wish I had done some work work over the weekend, but it is satisfying to plan for visits with friends and family.
I need to walk.
I need to be warm.
I need to prune the raspberries.
Walking is completely possible. There are several choices. Time to get other things done is the enemy. Last week we thought about a walk that started and ended on bus lines. Just to get in a walk that wasn’t burdened by our houses location. It also takes away the circular requirement. Today’s walk will almost certainly be focused towards a friends’ birthday party. (70!)
Warmth should be possible. Layers and all. But I long for just being warm, without having to work to be warm. I found myself standing in front of a bank of south-facing second floor windows at work, soaking in the warm sun. Longing.
The raspberries are supposed to be pruned early in the year. I generally get it done in January or February. It is March! It is also not raining, or snowing (it is cold enough). So that chore is definitely on my weekend list.
The Beast
The question is, will it be warm enough to convince myself to go prune before walking to the mid day party? It’s currently 35 degrees. We’ll see.
