It is a little bit light, even before 7, so I hold out hope for spring and mornings I can take a walk not in the dark. There is still snow on the ground, but it has retreated a good bit, and the trees are not covered any more. Ray and I took another walk yesterday morning with the two dogs. It was certainly beautiful, cold but sunny. The sky was an incredible blue. There were other people out; we saw them across the meadow.

We decided it was not a good idea to drive yet, so did not go to Pilates class. There was ice on the roads, where snow had melted and frozen. Unfortunately, they canceled Ray's dinosaur day at Sandy Creek and rescheduled it for April, after a lot of phone calls. The Captain went out on his plow and cleared some. After lunch, they went off to the grocery store. I assured them we could get along fine, but he said twice they had nothing else to do. Ray was working hard most of the day. I vacuumed while they were gone and made some muffins. There was supposed to be a choir party last night, but they canceled it late in the day, for fear of freezing after dark. So we have muffins now. Watched some of the Olympics, knit some, went to bed.
