SPRING AHEAD

Over the weekend we sprang ahead to Daylight Savings Time and we also reached 40 degrees for two days.  Today will be the highest predicted at 48 and then we will drop back to the 30's -- there are no 0 degree days in the forecast for the next week.  YAY  The snow is melting off enough that it is flooding some intersections around the cities and the DOT is out trying to clear paths for the water to drain off away from the roads where that all is taking place.  I do see there is snow forecast for two days this week...guess that is March.  LOL

There are two deer laying in the snow in the back and the turkeys (who we haven't seen for a long rime this winter) were back, trying to make their way through the snow.  The poor things feet break through the snow making it a hard trek for them.  They are 'digging' through the seed discard that have fallen from the bird feeders looking for food - I am sure with all this snow and cold weather it has been a hard season for both species.  I snapped a couple pictures to share.

It was a busy weekend.  We were able to watch Ms. Em perform her dances in competition down at the Convention Center.  I love all of her dances this year - and haven't picked a favorite yet...I love it all, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical.  She does all of them in the large group, and tap and lyrical in small group.  Their small group lyrical 'Pompei'  won the President's Cup Award .....beating out the teens, seniors and everyone.  VERY EXCITING!!  They have 4 more competitions to go, so it will be fun to see how the different judges score them.

Dear daughter-in-law had a Young Living Oils presentation at her home on Sunday....I now own a diffuser and collection of 10 oils to try out.  The idea is to try some healthy ways to treat some physical symptoms or environmental cleanliness without medications or caustic cleaners.  I think the younger generations DO try to find answers other than meds etc. because of all the controversies surrounding such things.  I do also have two friends that are big believers in this concept - one not having to use her inhaler for asthma hardly ever anymore, and the other for anxiety and pain issues.  The things I am mainly looking for are to treat my issue with driving on the interstate when it is busy (anxiety maybe) and SnOrInG.......we shall see.  There was a lot of positive testimony....so I'll see.  They have a little machine that you lay your palm on and it reads out on the computer to show what your body would benefit with the oils.....mine was 'emotional balance'....interesting!!  ANGER being a top issue.....hmmmm.

This week starts Spring Break for the littles, so I am hoping I can have some fun times with them for a bit.

Will have to come up with some good ideas maybe.

I did enjoy a SB non-fat Chai Tea Latte yesterday and it was wonderful!!  I do love my latte drinks!!
