Grass!!!!!

I have grass!!! Yes Grass!!!

Compare the two!!!!

Now if you have ever moved into somewhere that there is no grass. No place to grab a blanket spread it out and read in the sun!!  You know what those little words now mean.  Now I can't be on it for two weeks but to be able to sit on my balcony and look down and see green instead of brown, it is so great!!!

I can't even mow it for two weeks which is just great since Ryan won't be home until then and then HE can mow it!!??!! Well I guess first we will have to get a lawn mower. The things you do not think about when buying a house. Hoses, Lawn Mower, Patio stuff, Weed Eater......  But all of those thing make this place feel more like my home!!!  What an amazing thing!!!

Let it Snow!!! Let it Snow!!! Let it Snow!!!

Not words that you thought you would hear or see at the end of May, but it happened. Not a small little dusting a full fledged coming down hard, bad visibility and people forgetting how to drive.

This morning I work up (rather Ryan woke me up) at 3:30 because his car would not start. I went downstairs to help him and of course could not go back to sleep. I stayed awake which was ok since I was able to watch as the snow starting outside on my balcony. I needed to take Grandma to the airport so I needed to be up earlier then normal. While on the road I was so grateful that we had told grandma that we would take her to the airport.  She was planning on driving and park her car for a week. Even though Utah drivers should know how to drive in the snow, a lot of them forgot. Grandma got safely to the airport (yes even with me driving, dad) and off to see Peg and I got to go to work.

Now if any of you know when it is snowing not everyone likes to go out, so our branch was quiet. I got to catch up on paperwork so I won’t get anymore “nasty grams” that I have files missing. Then on my way to lunch what do you think was playing on the radio??? Any guesses??? Any one??? That is right, remember the title (Let it snow). Can you believe that they were playing it??

Well now there is a twist. I left the office today and after snowing up until 2:00 pm I got into my car and low and behold the temp read 65 degrees. The temp went up 32 degrees in less than 4 hours and now the weather forecast is showing 70 all week!!!

So I guess the moral of the story is!! No matter how much you want it to be Summer, mother nature may have other plans. So don’t pack away those winter clothes just yet!!!!
