Finally, and none too soon for me. There is green grass poking up in the cow pastures around abouts, but you wouldn't have known it this morning. Leaving for work, the upper part of the mountain, where we live, was not a bit of frost in sight. Got to the cow pasture and BAM, hoar frost EVERYWHERE. It was really wild to see the change between driving down through the trees and no frost, then get past the upper cattle guard and see so much frost.
Good news today, I found out my shift transfer may be quick, even though normally they take 3-4 weeks to accomplish. That I'm doing it for a lot of good reasons helps, but what really helps is that the supervisor on second shift REALLY wants me there. X-ray needs someone that knows what they are doing, and they've got so many people that don't, that getting stuff done is next to impossible. Other good news, the van is back on the road. Quentin was only going to take a half point and go in late after picking me up at work, then going to the mechanic's outside of town and getting the van, then heading to work ... but he ended up sick as a dog. There's some kind of stomach bug going around and he got it. So he's being treated with a hot shower (once the water for it heats up), peppermint tea and Pepto Bismol for the evening. Gotta get him settled down so he can get back to work tomorrow.
It's still a bit chilly though to be outside today after yesterday's cold snap, because even high 60sF can't clear off that much chill that fast off the ground and out of the air. So I'm taking care of a sick spouse tonight and trying to be patient till it warms up a tad. On the bright side, I look at it this way. We survived another winter on the mountain, harsher than the previous one, and it is officially over. We might get some spurts of crappy weather now and then for another couple of weeks, but by the end of the month, it will be blue skies and sunshine and green trees and wildflowers and being outside doing things as much as possible. For now, I'm off to find y'all some books. (Though what it is with most of the freebies I'm finding lately being cookbooks again, I do NOT know ... but I love food, so I'll be nice and share cookbooks! After all, ya gotta use up that stuff you grow somehow, right? Why not find a few new ways to fix it!) Till tomorrow!!!
